Man from Stowmarket jailed for sexual offences against children

A man from Stowmarket has been jailed after pleading guilty to a number of sexual offences against two children.

Dylan Armstrong-Bell, (pictured above) aged 23, of Wright Close in the town, appeared before Ipswich Crown Court on Tuesday, August 23.

He pleaded guilty to two offences of sexual communication with a child, one count of causing a child to engage in sexual activity, one count of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, two counts of causing a child to watch a sexual act and two counts of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child.

He was jailed for six years.

Det Sgt Nathan Hails, of Bury St Edmunds CID, said: “We will always take robust action against those who choose to target, exploit and abuse vulnerable young people. Such offenders try to hide what they do online, but they need to know that the internet is not a safe anonymous space for grooming children. They leave a digital footprint and we will find it.”
