Another Labour-Israel paedophile escapes jail despite ‘most serious’ child-rape images
Yet another Israel-linked [Labour party paedophile](https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026/02/24/labour-sexual-offence/), Conor McGrath, has been [given](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c70dvp0w2dyo) a ‘slap on the wrist’ sentence, despite being convicted of possessing the “most serious and disturbing [child-rape images] for which a person can be prosecuted”.
Conor McGrath escapes jail
--------------------------
Conor McGrath, 29, who used to work for [Israel-funded MP Kevin Bonavia](https://www.parallelparliament.co.uk/mp/kevin-bonavia/financial-disclosure), was arrested in February after a ten-month probe by Herts Police and admitted three counts of possessing more than 500 such images. He has been given an eight-month suspended prison sentence at St Albans Crown Court.
McGrath becomes the latest in a [long line](https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026/03/22/labour-israel-paedophile/) of ‘friends of Israel’ right-wing Labour figures to escape serious punishment despite the gravest child-rape image offences and even attempting to groom children for sex.
McGrath was exposed after Hertfordshire police seized McGrath’s devices on 25 March 2025, when he was arrested on an unrelated matter. The court had heard that he admitted to being worried police would find “rude photographs” and think he was a paedophile. This prompted the police to search his electronics again, leading to the discovery of the cache.
CPS spokeswoman Claire Beards said of Conor McGrath:
> The volume and nature of the indecent images that McGrath collected and stored showed his sustained and unlawful sexual interest in children. Some of the images were among the most serious and disturbing for which a person can be prosecuted.
