Episode Details

Former Labour councillor Daniel Velleman, who engaged in explicit conversations with someone he believed was a thirteen-year-old girl, received an eight-month suspended prison sentence at Southwark Crown Court. Despite knowing the girls age, Velleman continued the conversation, leading to his guilty plea to child sex offences. He previously served on Barnet Council and held roles in the Jewish Labour Movement and Hope Not Hate. The scandal resulted in his resignation, the end of his marriage, and restricted contact with his son. Velleman must complete community service, rehabilitation activities, join the Sex Offenders Register, and abide by a ten-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order, along with paying court costs and a victim surcharge.
