A man from Crewe has been jailed for six years plus four years on extended license after multiple sexual offences against a teenage girl.

27 year old Daniel Allcock (also known as Daniel Smith) had pleaded guilty to numerous offences.

Allcock was initially arrested in April following allegations that he had posed as a 19-year-old man online in order to groom and meet a 15-year-old girl between December 2023 and April 2024.

He arranged to meet her on multiple occasions, organising her travel for her and telling her where to meet him. He then engaged in sexual activity with her repeatedly.

Checks quickly revealed that Allcock was known to Cheshire Police for previous sexual offences and was far older than he was purporting to be.

He was arrested charged, and remanded, and safeguarding was put in place to support the young girl.

Following the sentencing, DC Kieran Marsh said:

“Firstly, I would like to praise the bravery of the victim in speaking to the police about her ordeal, and while she will never be able to forget what has happened to her, I hope this sentence will allow her to move forward with her life knowing justice has been served.

“This young girl’s world was turned upside down by a calculated and callous offender, driven purely by his own sexual desires, with no regard for the severe and lasting effects his actions would have on his victim.

“I would also like to acknowledge that this investigation has been a team effort by Crewe PVP investigations, and it is thanks to the damning forensic, witness-generated, and digital evidence that Allcock had no choice but to plead guilty.

“I hope this will also reassure anyone who wants to report a sexual offence that they will be supported, and we will take every report seriously and treat it with sensitivity.

“You can report any information to us online or by calling 101.”
