A doctor has been jailed after he admitted to multiple child sexual offences.
Matthew Isles, 53, of Whiston, Staffordshire, has been sentenced to three years and ten months’ imprisonment at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court today (Wednesday 13 August) after he pleaded guilty to 14 offences. He has been placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
Isles was first arrested at his home on 10 February 2025 on suspicion of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child. We seized various devices from his house. He was charged the same day. He pleaded guilty the next day, 11 February 2025.
He was arrested again on 10 March 2025 and charged with attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child, attempting to cause/incite a girl 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity, possession of a paedophile manual, observe a person doing a private act and voyeurism.
Isles was also charged with three counts of distribute an indecent photograph/pseudo-photograph of a child, three counts of making indecent photograph/pseudo-photograph of a child, two counts of possession of an extreme pornographic image and possession of a prohibited image of a child.
When detectives examined Isles’ devices, they found thousands of indecent images including category A’ images - the most severe classification of indecent images of children.
He pleaded guilty to the additional 12 offences at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on 16 June.
The offences took place between 2022 and 2025.
Detective Inspector Alex Glover, from our public protection unit, said: “Isles sought out and hoarded images of the most horrific abuse of children.
“The continued circulation of child sexual abuse material normalises abuse and incentivises the creation of new content.
“We have worked closely with NHS organisations and conducted a thorough investigation into the offences committed by Isles.”
Dignity4Patients Commentary:- Continued removal of those who target children for sexual abuse should be high on all healthcare management and medical regulatory bodies. Training, supervision and oversight are crucial and it is not just a matter for law enforcement organisations. Suspect It, See It, Report It, then Sanction and Remove those who are known to be inclined to abuse children. #SafeHealthcare #PatientFirst #StopSexualAbuse
