Darren Conway pleads guilty to inciting sexual attacks via online forum

Darren Conway online sexual abuse forum National Crime Agency drug-facilitated sexual offending Wood Green Crown Court

Darren Conway, a 52-year-old man from Enfield, North London, has pleaded guilty at Wood Green Crown Court to multiple serious offenses, including inciting sexual attacks, voyeurism, and possessing extreme pornography.

Conway was part of an international investigation into an online forum where members exchanged graphic videos of sexual and domestic violence. The forum, discovered in October 2025, involved the sharing of images and videos of women who were unconscious, asleep, or incapacitated by drugs. Between 2023 and 2026, Conway reportedly solicited photos of unconscious women on at least ten occasions.

In one specific instance in 2025, Conway admitted to messaging another man to encourage him to sexually assault his own sleeping wife and to provide digital evidence of the act.

The investigation, led by the National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Metropolitan Police, has resulted in the arrest of eight men in the UK. Authorities are currently working with law enforcement in several countries, including France, Germany, Brazil, Spain, the Netherlands, and the United States, to identify nearly 300 individuals potentially linked to the forum.
