By Laura Harris // Aug 21, 2024

Two LGBTQ activists and former volunteers from the Pride in Surrey organization in the United Kingdom have been charged with a series of extensive and disturbing child sex abuse offenses.

Stephen Ireland, the 40-year-old founder and director of the Pride in Surrey organization and self-proclaimed patron of the controversial LGBTQ+ charity Educate and Celebrate, has been accused of child rape, multiple sexual assaults, voyeurism, offering indecent photographs of minors and plotting kidnapping for over two years from August 2022 to July 2024.

Ireland faces 22 offenses, including the rape of a child under 13; two counts of engaging a child under 13 in sexual activity (penetrative); sexual assault of a child under 13; sexual communication with a child; engaging a child under 13 in sexual activity (non-penetrative); six counts of making indecent photographs of children; two counts of possession of an extreme pornographic image; two counts of possession of prohibited images of children; five counts of distributing indecent photographs of a child; and one count of publishing an obscene article.

Along with Ireland, David Sutton, 26, a former volunteer for the same organization, is also being charged with multiple sex crimes.

Suton has been accused of voyeurism, possession of extreme pornography, conspiracy to sexually assault a child and plotting to kidnap a minor. He faces seven additional offenses, including three counts of making indecent photographs of children; one count of possession of prohibited images of children; one count of possession of an extreme pornographic image; and two counts of distributing indecent photographs of a child.

Ireland and Sutton appeared in court on Aug. 15 after being arrested the day before.

Aside from the individual charges, Ireland and Sutton both face additional joint charges with 15 offenses, including six counts of conspiracy to sexually assault a child; one count of conspiracy to kidnap a child; four counts of arranging the commission of a child sex offense; one count of conspiracy to administer a substance with intent; one count of publishing an obscene article; one count of voyeurism; and one count of perverting the course of justice. (Related: Prominent LGBTQ activist and president of a university queer organization ARRESTED for downloading child pornography.)

Pride in Surrey suspends Ireland and Sutton after being charged with multiple sexual abuse of minors

Aside from the criminal charges, Surrey Pride disclosed that Ireland and Sutton have been suspended from the organization after they became aware of a police probe into them back in June. The organization also clarified that they were unaware of the investigation until Ireland and Sutton were charged.

"[We] have been made aware of an investigation that has been conducted involving two former volunteers, both of whom have now been charged," said the group in a statement. "On 12th June, Pride in Surrey were informed by Surrey Police of an ongoing investigation surrounding two volunteers. Both volunteers were immediately suspended from the organization. Following this, a decision was made to remove them both from the organization, as well as Stephen Ireland as a director. We were not aware of the exact nature of the crimes being investigated."

"[On Aug. 15] Pride in Surrey were made aware of the charges made against both volunteers via a social media post. We are appalled and horrified at the charges which have been brought against the two individuals," continued the statement. "We will fully cooperate with Surrey Police in any way they require. Our thoughts are with the alleged victims and their families."
