Today's Highlighted Video Story: On 13 October 2010, Mr Pearce was sentenced to imprisonment for public protection with a minimum term of 3½ years (less time spent on remand) after he pleaded guilty to three separate offences of sexual assault committed in 2009. Mr Pearce has been eligible for release at the direction of the Parole Board since 2013, but he remains in prison. His imprisonment has been reviewed on four occasions. Most recently, the Parole Board in May 2019 refused to direct Mr Pearce's release but recommended his transfer to open prison conditions (the Decision). In accordance with the "Guidance on Allegations" (the Guidance), the Parole Board took into account unproven allegations about other alleged sexual assaults by Mr Pearce against women and girls when assessing the risk to the public arising from Mr Pearce's release.
