Weldon barber committed horrendous sexual offences involving boys
A former hairdresser who owned a barber shop in Weldon has been ruled as a ‘dangerous’ offender after a string of sexual crimes against children.
Bilal Tasin, who used to own Fade and Blade in Jacob Court, Weldon, was in court to face sentence on 11 serious sexual charges against youngsters.
At a previous hearing at Northampton Crown Court, he admitted all of the charges against him which were:
- causing boy A, who was under 13, to engage in sexual activity in April 2025
- threatening to share intimate sexual images and films of boy B between November 2024 and January 2025.
- making a category B indecent image of a child in April 2025.
- threatening to share intimate sexual images and films of boy A in April 2025.
- had in his possession 26 indecent images of a child in April 2025.
- between January 2024 and April 2025, at Corby, made 166 category B indecent images of a child.
- between Nov 2024 and January 2025 at Corby, for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, intentionally communicated with boy B, a person under 16, namely talking about sexual activity with the child.
- between November 2024 and January 2025 at Corby, being a person aged 18 or over, intentionally attempted to cause or incite a boy aged 15, to engage in sexual activity of a non penetrative nature, namely to video himself naked.
- between January 2024 and April 2025 at Corby made 89 category B indecent photographs of a child.
- between January 2024 and April 2025 at Corby made 160 category A indecent photographs of a child.
- On April 18, 2025, at Corby, being a person aged 18 or over, for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, intentionally communicated with Boy A.
The 22-year-old was charged by London’s Metropolitan Police last spring and handed over the reins of the shop, the running of which he is no longer involved with.
The address he gave to the court was his shop address in Weldon Park.
Tasin was before Her Honour Judge Adrienne Lucking KC for sentence at the end of March. He was given seven years and four months in prison. He will have to serve two thirds of that sentence before he can be released. It means his release date is in March 2031.
He was also deemed to be a dangerous offender and was given a further five year extended sentence, which means he will be subject to licence and close supervision in those five years after he is released from prison.
