Daniel O'Flynn

Daniel O'Flynn, 37, of Hull, was sentenced to a 12-year extended sentence at Hull Crown Court on 19 August 2026. The sentence comprises nine years in custody and a three-year extended licence period following his guilty pleas to arranging the commission of the rape of a child, three counts of making indecent photographs of a child, possessing extreme pornography, and theft.

The investigation into O'Flynn began in November 2025 after he was identified sending extreme pornographic messages. He was subsequently arrested at Hull Paragon railway station after arranging to meet an individual he believed to be a registered sex offender who was offering a child for abuse. Analysis of his mobile phone linked him to the offences.

In addition to his custodial sentence, O'Flynn was placed on the sex offenders register for life and made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order.
