Two men from Surrey have been charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse against children.

Stephen Ireland, 40, and David Sutton, 26, both from Addlestone, were arrested on Wednesday.

The BBC understands Mr Ireland was the director of Surrey Pride, and Mr Sutton a volunteer with the organisation, until June.

Both have been remanded in custody and will appear before magistrates in Staines on Thursday.

Mr Ireland and Mr Sutton face a series of charges including six counts of conspiracy to sexually assault a child, conspiracy to kidnap a child, voyeurism and arranging the commission of a child sex offence.

In addition, Mr Ireland is facing a further 22 charges, including rape of a child under 13, sexual assault, making indecent photographs of children, and possession of an extreme pornographic image.

Mr Sutton is also charged with a further seven offences, including making indecent photographs of children and distributing indecent photographs of a child.

So, these are the kind of people running Pride events in Surrey. Do you take your children to Pride Parades to see these perverts?

All the offences were alleged to have happened between August 2022 and last month. Surrey Police says its investigation is ongoing.
