Peter Entwistle spoke to children on MSN Messenger and other social network sites in a sexualised manner, asking them to commit sexual acts for his own satisfaction, Bolton Crown Court heard today (November 24).
The 52-year-old named himself the ‘Naughty Doctor’, using an explicit picture of two women as his profile picture, and spoke to a 13-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy, who he believed was a girl.
In addition, when police officers raided his house in January 25 last year, they found thousands of indecent images of children stored on a number of computers, USB sticks and some which had been printed out.
Entwistle was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison after pleading guilty to 21 counts at an earlier hearing, including possessing and distributing indecent images of children as well as inciting and the attempted inciting of children to commit sexual acts. He will be placed on the sexual offenders register for life, and would be subject to a sexual offences prevention order.
The court was told that Entwistle, of Broad Oak Lane, Bury, had one previous conviction of indecently exposing himself to a woman in the 1980s, but had otherwise had a clean record.
Iain Simkin, defending Entwistle, read out a letter to the court from Alistair Burt, who was the MP for Bury North from 1983 to 1997, which referenced his good character .
Judge Elliot Knopf added: “You are now 52-years-old, and you have, until these matters, led an exemplary life, which is attributed to by various letters I have received from people ranging from family, colleagues, the rector of churches and an MP.”
The court was also told that Entwistle was seeking treatment from a psychiatrist for depression.
He was a founder member of Bury UKIP in March 2011, and resigned as party chairman in January 2013.
What will this mean for UKIP’s ‘holier than thou’ attitude towards paedophilia allegations against other political parties?

Well done that he has been discovered, even better that he has been sentenced. Shame on you for seeking to make political capital out of it. Where has UKIP said that it condones such behaviour? It never has and never will. The site which identifies the Labour Party miscreants in this area of human misbehaviour was not compiled by a UKIP supporter but like any right minded person you will surely applaud the efforts that have gone into the creation of the site. What were this man’s political affiliations before he became a UKIP supporter?
What do you mean, shame on me for trying to make political capital out of it? What has UKIP been doing with allegations against members of Labour, if not exactly that? Shame on that party.
I haven’t said UKIP condones such behaviour. UKIP has repeatedly tried to convince the public that Labour does, though – and now we know that UKIP has no right to behave as though it has the moral high ground.
The site that accuses Labour was created by BNP activists, if I recall correctly. Now, why would any right-minded person applaud the activities of the BNP?
And who cares what party he supported before UKIP? It was UKIP he joined, and UKIP he represented.
Oh give it a rest, Ropes. You have repeatedly played the “They’re-all-paedos” card whenever you’ve been losing an argument – usually an argument that has bog-all to do with child-abuse in the first place – and now you have the barefaced nerve to accuse others of making capital out of it? That’s revolting hypocrisy.
You’re acting like a typical UKipper; more faces than a hall of mirrors, and more whine than a green bottle.
Dirty filthy git – he’ll be getting what’s coming to him in prison.
All parties are guilty of having these vile people in bed with them, especially the Tories – strange how so many of them make up UKIP…
