Arrested literally at the gates of his prison on his scheduled release day, authorities had been quietly building evidence over months. The abuse occurred between 2021 and 2023, prompting a high-risk assessment that led to a meticulously planned takedown. With support from specialist police, probation, and safeguarding teams, investigators handled the case with care around the victim before securing charges. Hawke now faces a restraining order and prison time aimed squarely at protecting children from his dangerous patterns.
