A 45-YEAR-OLD man originally from Lower Priory, Milford Haven will appear in court on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, charged with a series of child sexual offences alleged to have taken place in Cornwall.

James Kershaw, now living in Pounda, Quethiock, Cornwall, faces seven charges linked to incidents said to have occurred in Liskeard, Cornwall between 26 October and 1 November 2023.

The complainant has automatic anonymity under the Sexual Offences Amendment Act 1992.

Sexual communication with a child

Kershaw is accused of intentionally engaging in sexual communication with a child under 16 for sexual gratification.

This offence, under Section 15A of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, carries a maximum sentence of two years’ imprisonment if tried in the Crown Court.

Causing a child to watch sexual activity

Two charges allege that on 28 October and 29 October 2023, he caused a child aged 13 to 15 to watch him engaging in sexual activity.

These offences fall under Section 12 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment on indictment.

Causing or inciting sexual activity

Kershaw also faces two counts of causing or inciting a girl aged 13 to 15 to engage in non-penetrative sexual activity.

These offences are under Section 10 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, carrying a maximum sentence of 14 years’ imprisonment.

Breach of Sexual Harm Prevention Order

He is additionally charged with two breaches of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) imposed by Derby Crown Court on 31 May 2022.

Prosecutors allege that between 26 October and 1 November 2023, Kershaw:

• Used an undeclared social media account;
• Deleted online messages despite being prohibited from doing so.

Breaches of a SHPO carry a maximum sentence of five years’ imprisonment.

Court appearance

Kershaw is due to appear in court at 2:00pm on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, where the case is expected to be sent to the Crown Court due to the seriousness of the charges.

Garth Ward clear-up sees multiple removals

POLICE have organised the removal several untaxed and abandoned vehicles from the Garth ward in Haverfordwest following a joint operation earlier today.

Neighbourhood officers from Haverfordwest NPPT, working alongside the Roads Policing Unit, carried out enforcement action after a number of vehicles were found to have no valid road tax and had been left parked or abandoned for extended periods.

A police spokesperson said the operation was aimed at improving safety, accessibility, and the general appearance of residential streets where long-term abandoned vehicles had become an issue.

Millforge Garage were brought in to assist with the removals, with officers praising staff for their work in recovering vehicles that were “in awkward and difficult positions”.

Under UK law, it is illegal to keep or park an untaxed vehicle on any public road. Vehicles must be taxed or declared SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification), but a SORN declaration is only valid if the vehicle is kept entirely on private land. Leaving a SORN vehicle on a street, layby or pavement breaches DVLA regulations and can result in immediate enforcement action.

DVLA enforcement teams and police have the power to clamp or remove any untaxed vehicle found on a public road without warning. In many cases, removal fees, daily storage charges and unpaid tax must be settled before the vehicle can be released — and if not collected, the vehicle may ultimately be scrapped.

The Herald understands that further inspections will continue over the coming weeks as part of ongoing efforts to tackle nuisance and abandoned vehicles across the town.
