COMINGATYER - THE STORY
The boy in these photos is Arron Cottam, himself and his brother Harry Cottam both modelled for Dorian Cowland's model site formerly known as Rewind Motion Pictures and latterly Comingatyer.
Arron & Harry lived in the town of Thornbury, north of Bristol.
Along with numerous other boys who were invited to model for the sites, the boys were often asked to expose their underwear as a routine part of the modelling. At the time nothing was deemed to be illegal about the sites and so they grew in popularity during the 2000's. Most of the pictures were taken in the UK in Gloucester and at the boy's own homes.
However, not was all as it seemed. Dorian Cowland used various aliases including Patrick Amory and Patrick Cowland. He was investigated and subsequently pleaded guilty to a number of charges relating to indecent images of children. In more recent times Dorian Cowland moved to the Co. Wexford area of the Republic of Ireland but consistently failed to notify the authorities there of his addresses under the relevant Sex Offender regulations. He has been jailed in Ireland on a number of occasions.
The webmaster of the Rewind Motion Pictures and Comingatyer sites was another person from the Republic of Ireland who subsequently became convicted of child pornography charges and further charges relating to a sexual assault of a 13 year old boy. John O'Donoghue is believed to be still in contact with Dorian Cowland and is planning to return to the arena of child modelling websites in the coming years. Police in Ireland and the UK are believed to be keeping a close eye on these two "highly dangerous" individuals and have warned the public at large to be vigilant.
