Plymouth child sex offender who photographed abuse jailed for catalogue of offences

0325.26 John Woodley-Rennie.jpg
A child sex offender has been jailed for 16 years after being convicted of a catalogue of recent and non-recent sexual offences in a joint Devon & Cornwall Police and South West Regional Organised Crime Unit (SWROCU) investigation.

John Woodley-Rennie, 39, from Ocean Street, Plymouth, appeared at Plymouth Crown Court for sentence on Friday 21 August after pleading guilty to 16 charges including:

  • Taking an indecent photo of a child 
  • Distributing an indecent photograph of a child
  • Engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child
  • Causing or inciting a boy under 13 to engage in sexual activity
  • Engaging in sexual communication with a child
  • Arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence
  • Attempted sexual communication with a child
  • Making indecent images of children

Woodley-Rennie was first arrested in January 2025 after he travelled within Plymouth to meet with who he believed was a teenage boy. Instead, he was met by officers from SWROCU and arrested.

Devon and Cornwall Police launched a further investigation in July 2025 when, following his arrest by SWROCU earlier in the year, Woodley-Rennie attended Charles Cross Station and reported that he had carried out the sexual abuse of a male child in the 2010s in the Plymouth area.

The abuse took place on numerous occasions over a prolonged period of time and was filmed or photographed by Woodley-Rennie.

Woodley-Rennie told the officers that he carried out and photographed the abuse at the request of a man he had met on Grindr. The man Woodley-Rennie claimed to be acting on behalf of has not yet been identified.

Detective Inspector Dave Wells from SWROCU said: “Working closely with Devon and Cornwall Police, we have collectively ensured a dangerous sex offender has been taken out of our communities after committing offences which span years. 

“We are committed to working with police forces in our region, nationally and internationally to protect children by ensuring such dangerous individuals are identified and brought to justice.” 

Detective Constable Becca Boulton from Devon & Cornwall Police said: “We welcome the sentence given to John Woodley-Rennie at Plymouth Crown Court today.

“Woodley-Rennie routinely abused his victim, photographing the abuse.

“The offences took place over many years and no doubt had a considerable psychological impact on the victim.

“I’d like to thank the victim for having the strength to talk about what happened to him and remaining engaged throughout the court process.

“We hope he is able to feel some closure knowing that a dangerous sexual predator has been taken off the streets for some time.”

How I discovered my wife was sexually molesting our daughter – Husband



PREMIUM TIMES previously reported that the police in Anambra State arrested Mrs Onyeanusia on Friday in connection with the incident.

Kechukwu Onyeanyusi, husband of Anulika Onyeanusia, the 36-year-old woman arrested for using a sex toy on her underage daughter, has shed light on the sexual molestation incident.

PREMIUM TIMES previously reported that the police in Anambra State arrested Mrs Onyeanusia on Friday in connection with the incident.

The suspect, according to the police, was under investigation for child pornography.

The couple resides in Onitsha, where police officers recovered sex toys and other unnamed items from the suspect, which will aid the ongoing investigation.

Police said they also rescued four children, aged two, three, six, and nine years, from the suspect.


‘I never knew’
Speaking in a video clip uploaded on Facebook on Saturday, Mr Onyeanusia said he was unaware that his wife had been sexually molesting his daughter until a day earlier.

He said he only discovered his wife’s actions on Thursday evening from a friend who showed him clips of the incident.

“I saw the video. It was my wife and my daughter. She (my wife) was molesting the child. I got confused and wondered if that was real,” he recalled.

Mr Onyeanusia said he confronted his wife over the clips, but she initially denied the allegations, claiming they were generated using Artificial Intelligence.

He said he was still probing his wife’s claims when police operatives arrived at his residence to arrest both of them.

“When they were interrogating her at the police station, she admitted committing the offence,” he said.

The husband further said that his wife had also confirmed to police investigators that he was not aware of her activities.

“That was when I turned and asked her, ‘Did you really do this?’ and she said, ‘Yes.’

“I got weak. I asked her, ‘How can you do this kind of thing?’ I sat at the police station, confused about the whole thing,” he recounted.

Mr Onyeanusia said he decided to make this video because he knew many people would have thought that he knew about his wife’s activities.

“I am totally disappointed with my wife. I never believed she could do this kind of thing, even to our daughter,” he said.

Prohibited in Nigeria
Sexual exploitation and child pornography are both illegal in Nigeria.

Section 32 of the Child Rights Act 2003 prohibits sexual abuse and exploitation of children in the country.

Upon conviction, offenders are liable to 14 years imprisonment, according to Section 32(2) of the Act.

Child pornography is outlawed in Section 17 (1) of the Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition), Enforcement and Administration Act 2015.

Section 17(2) prescribes imprisonment for a term of not less than seven years and a fine of not less than N1 million for convicted offenders.

Even the Cybercrimes Act 2024 also criminalised child pornography.

Several people had been convicted of either child pornography or sexual exploitation of children in Nigeria.

In June 2025, the Federal High Court in Lagos convicted and sentenced Olukeye Adeayo Olalekan to 76 years’ imprisonment for child pornography-related charges.

A Lagos Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court, in 2024, sentenced a man, Nurudeen Nasiru, to life imprisonment for introducing porn videos to his neighbour’s 13-year-old daughter and sexually assaulting her.

Nigerian Army investigates Captain for CSA allegations

By 
Dare Akogun, Punch

The Nigerian Army has commenced an investigation into an allegation of sexual abuse involving a serving officer, Cap Etim Essien, attached to the Headquarters 3 Division, Jos, Plateau State.


The Army disclosed this in a statement issued on Saturday by the Acting Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, 3 Division, Lt. Col. Olumide Olukoya, amid reports of the alleged incident circulating online.

According to Olukoya, the military has initiated steps to establish the facts and circumstances surrounding the allegation, stressing that allegations of sexual abuse, particularly those involving minors and other vulnerable persons, were treated with utmost seriousness.

“The Nigerian Army takes all allegations of sexual abuse, particularly those involving minors and other vulnerable persons, with utmost seriousness. Accordingly, appropriate steps have been initiated to establish the facts and circumstances surrounding the reported incident.

“As the allegation is currently under process of investigation, it would be inappropriate to make definitive comments on the culpability or otherwise of any individual at this stage. The Nigerian Army remains committed to due process, fairness and the protection of the rights and dignity of all parties involved,” he said.

Olukoya also disclosed that relevant civil authorities were looking into the matter, assuring that it would cooperate with them to ensure that the allegation was thoroughly investigated in accordance with the law.

“The Nigerian Army is also aware that the relevant civil authorities are looking into the matter and will cooperate fully with them to ensure that the allegation is thoroughly and transparently investigated in accordance with extant laws and regulations,” he added.

The spokesperson said the military maintained a zero-tolerance position towards conduct that violated the law or established service regulations, adding that any personnel found culpable would face appropriate disciplinary action after the investigation.

“The Nigerian Army places a high premium on discipline, professionalism and respect for human dignity. Upon the conclusion of the investigation, any personnel found to have acted contrary to the law or established service regulations will be dealt with appropriately,” he stated.

The Army, however, urged members of the public to refrain from speculation and the dissemination of unverified information that could prejudice the ongoing investigation or compromise the privacy and wellbeing of those involved.

It particularly appealed for caution where minors were concerned, saying their privacy and welfare must be protected throughout the investigative process.
