Share on FacebookShare on X

63-year-old Peter Tomlinson, who once was seen as a leading business figure on the Isle of Wight, has been charged with 7 new sickening child sex offences.

Tomlinson, formerly of Baring Road in Cowes, faces 3 counts of paying for the sexual services of a girl under 13 (penetration) and 2 counts of paying for the sexual services of a girl under 13 (no penetration), 1 count of attempting to pay for the sexual services of a girl 13 to 15 (no penetration) and 1 count of paying for the sexual services of a girl aged 16/17.

The offences relate to oral sex on a child by a dog and various live sex shows with payments to, or attempted payments to, 6 different women relating to 8 different children.

The offences were committed between 2017 and 2019.

Tomlinson will appear before the Isle of Wight Magistrates Court via video link tomorrow (Tuesday)

UPDATE TUESDAY – The case against Mr Tomlinson has been adjourned to the Crown Court on 5th March. Mr Tomlinson is already due in the same court on 5th March.

No pleas have been entered.

Use it for experimentation, or put it in a zoo for the depraved, perhaps science could make useful research from it…

What about the women who took payment on behalf of the child victims?

probably in another country and hopefully the UK police will have passed the files on to the country that they believe the payments went to – after all, they can at least get an electronic trail to a final account and then if they are lucky, the bank will have CCTV showing who made a withdrawal

In a world where common sense prevails and the punishment fits the crime this depraved excuse for a human being would have instant castration followed by a very long time inside. Introduce him to lifers that have a hatred to people like him and look the other way. Makes me feel sick with anger. Sod the dogooders that will or have any sympathy for his sick behaviour.

I’m quite sure so-called ‘do-gooders’ will have little sympathy for his behaviour. He will be interviewed by Psychologists, Psychiatrists and other workers in Prisons. Then they are usually invited to join in group therapy as too commonly the sex offender was himself sexually abused himself in his childhood. It’s a sad, sad situation and understandably people feel very angry. But our prison service is very enlightened and uses Psychologists and Psychotherapists in Prison routinely. It is definitely not the case of having sympathy for the behaviour, more understanding the causes and attempting to break the cycle.

The high majority of sickos like Tomlinson know how to lie through their teeth to Psychologists and Psychotherapists . Like murderers that find God all of a sudden. No excuse whatsoever for this evil scumbag. Lock the door and throw the key away. If one of the young children had been one of yours (god forbid) I’m bloody sure that understanding the causes would fly out the window.

Dear Sir,
A .303 round would definitely break the cycle with all of these creatures. Most of the experts are, sadly, damaged themselves by bad experiences. Their quest to cure and purify our nation is borne out of a desire to be rid of their own demons of the past. It won’t happen. The sickos are out in a few years and carry on with a load more abused kiddies. Asking lots of highly intelligent questions makes these animals feel human. They ain’t: all human rights should be negated when you behave worse than the beasts of the field. Racehorse breaks its leg, or dog goes mad, we shoot them straight away. Same rules should apply.

People always worried about “overners” but ignore the nonce in their own community. The island is TAPPED. So glad I left it. People I know look at the Island and are shocked when I show them the amount of nonce articles. The islands biggest trick was projecting the image of a safe and well put together island.

Too true, sir. Please tell our local estate agents of your findings. After the ferry mafias the second home selling sorts are the worst/best people to encourage mainland folk to ‘make a day of it’ (actual words from a client of the oldest Island estate agents). Thank you for making our Vectis more local by leaving. Now, please tell your friends.

Quite frankly this man is a sick disgusting sexual predator.. Peter was never reciprocal to me nor my businesses and everything is now very clear ! This man knew how outspoken I was about Paedophiles having been abused myself as a child and it is clear that Tomlinson believed if he let me into his nepotistic circle then there was a huge risk that he would be exposed, so instead the The Chamber and all his other businesses made it difficult for me. This man should be locked up and left to rot, I hope he lives many years in misery.

have another try Darren – chances are the others would not have taken the decisions they did because of his influence and say so – he is gone now, you may find a more receptive group – especially if you approach them with a positive view and completely ignore what has happened, as they will want to forget about it to.
