Following his arrest by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), Conn was extradited to Kent, where he faced multiple charges. He pleaded guilty to 15 sexual offences, including rape, and was sentenced to 14 years in prison on May 28, 2026. The case highlights the importance of digital evidence in prosecuting sexual crimes.
