The founder of a Pride group, who r@ped an 'extremely vulnerable' boy who he met on Grindr, has been jailed for 13 years.

Stephen Ireland, 42, who co-founded Pride in Surrey in 2018, r@ped the child at the flat he shared with his then partner and co-defendant David Sutton, 27, in Addlestone on April 19, 2024.

Ireland had arranged for the 12-year-old boy, referred to in court as Child A, to meet him at his flat after messaging him on the dating app Grindr, the court heard.
The boy, who had been reported missing at the time, told police they had s£x in the flat.

The boy said they also smoked a bong which was later found to have contained methamphetamine.

I feel 13 years is even too small, some people don't deserve to be called humans honestly. It is well though.

That's heinous and a criminal act. The rapist must be jailed and must be give a severe punishment.
