March has been another busy month for Cambridgeshire’s courts

A man who sexually abused girls for decades is among the criminals that have been jailed in March. The third month of the year has been a busy one for Cambridgeshire courts, with more criminals jailed.

Among those jailed included murderers and paedophiles. Here are five criminals that were put behind bars in March.

Liam Brodie

Liam Brodie, 34, received an enquiry about electrical work from a woman in September 2024. He agreed to visit the woman for a quote, however he was then reluctant when he said her husband would meet him.

The woman then noticed he changed his profile image from his company logo to a picture of his genitals. The woman challenged Brodie, who claimed he had been hacked.

The picture then changed to photos of him naked. In November 2024, a different woman contacted Brodie and he sent several images and videos of his genitals to her as well.

Brodie, of Barkhams Lane, Littleport, pleaded guilty to three counts of sending a photograph or film of genitals to cause alarm, distress, or humiliation. He appeared at Huntingdon Law Court on March 9 and was sentenced to two years in prison.

Ricky Peppercorn

Ricky Peppercorn, 36, is believed to have brought at least 14 kilos of cocaine, worth around £1.4 million into Norfolk between March and June 2020. In the same time period, he also brought nine kilos of cannabis, worth between £60,000 and £90,000, into Cambridgeshire.

Through investigations, it was discovered Peppercorn would travel from his home in West Walton, Wisbech, to Peterborough, despite the county being in lockdown during Covid.

The 36-year-old was convicted of conspiracy to supply cocaine, conspiracy to supply cannabis and failing to provide his PIN code for a mobile phone seized upon his arrest. On March 18 at King’s Lynn Crown Court, he was jailed for 12 years.

Raul Maretic-Ramon

Raul Maretic-Ramon threatened a person with a knife in Peterborough’s Cathedral Square on March 3, 2025. He was detained by Peterborough City Council enforcement officers the same day.

Police arrested the 23-year-old, who was also in possession of cannabis. Maretic-Ramon initially denied threatening a person with an offensive weapon, but he was found guilty of the charge following a trial at Cambridge Crown Court in December.

He appeared at the same court on March 9 and was sent to prison for 30 months.

Leonard Devall

Leonard Devall approached a victim who was sitting in a van in Northfield Road, Millfield, Peterborough on November 27, 2025. Devall demanded £50 and then became aggressive.

The victim handed over £20. He then tried to call the police, but Devall grabbed his phone and took the key out of the ignition. The man managed to escape the vehicle and Devall drove off in the van.

On January 14, 2026, Devall then stole a Mercedes A180, which had been left running to defrost in Brymore, Bretton. Devall, of Whitshed Street in Eastfield, Peterborough, admitted to theft of a motor vehicle, theft, and taking a vehicle without consent.

He was sentenced to nine months in prison after appearing at Peterborough Magistrates Court on March 2.

George Davey

George Davey abused young girls for over 22 years. The now 76-year-old abused his first victim between 1975 and 1985, and then a second victim between 1983 and 1986.

He then sexually abused a third girl between 1995 and 2003, a fourth between 2001 and 2002, and later 2022, and a fifth victim in 1993. Between 2019 and 2020, he also exposed himself to a woman.

His crimes were revealed in December 2022, when one of the victims reported he had sexually abused her. This encouraged other victims to come forward.

Davey, of Shelthorpe Road, Loughborough, pleaded guilty to nine counts of indecency with a child, two counts of attempted rape of a girl under 16, one count of indecent assault of a girl under 14, one count of indecent assault, once count of sexual assault on a female and one count of exposure.

Appearing at Cambridge Crown Court on March 18, he was sentenced to 22 years in prison.
