Wing-Commander Richard Willis born 1966, is a British Conservative and Unionist Party politician and RAF officer who was an influential member of LGBTory during the period when the party legalized same-sex "marriage". He was convicted on pedophile charges in 2017.

Richard Willis

Willis was a Conservative Party councillor for Thames Ward in Reading Berkshire between 2001 and 2004 and then again in the Peppard Ward between 2007 and 2015. He also worked for former Reading East MP Rob Wilson, who said he was “shocked and appalled” at the news of his conviction. [1]

In February 2016 Willis was elected as a Conservative councillor on Sleaford Town Council in Lincolnshire but resigned in April 2017 after being exposed as involved in a pedophile ring with Matthew Sephton and other homosexual members of LGBTory.

Criminal Conviction

Willis, a former RAF officer, who served at RAF Cranwell, was jailed after he downloaded and distributed images of children being sexually abused.

He appeared on the surface to be an upstanding man who was involved in a number of charities. In December 2016 he was arrested as part of a National Crime Agency investigation into a messaging service set up to allow users to trade indecent images of children via WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

Police seized computer equipment from Willis's home and discovered he had exchanged hundreds of messages with another man (Matthew Sephton) using the messaging service.

Andrew Scott, prosecuting, told Lincoln Crown Court: “Within the messages a number of indecent images of children were exchanged and the two men expressed their personal sexual preferences. Richard Willis said he preferred young boys aged 14 to 16.”

Mr Scott said a number of photographs were found which Willis had himself taken of a teenage boy. “The boy was naked and in erotic poses. He said he met the boy through Grindr.”

The court was told that Willis was “a bastion” of the RAF Charitable Trust and was director of the Cranwellian Association. He was involved in a number of other organisations including Help for Heroes and was an organiser for the Royal British Legion.

Willis, from Quarrington, admitted three charges of distributing indecent images of children; two charges of making indecent images of children and a further charge of taking indecent images of children. Some of the images he had been sending were in the worst category possible i.e. including physical torture, rape or degradation. [2]

He was jailed for 16 months and placed on the sex offenders’ register for 10 years. He was also given a 10 year sexual harm prevention order. [3]

Willis was an active member of LGBTory during the period when it was steering the UK government to legalize same-sex "marriage".
