- Ben David Rose, previously Ben David Lewis, was convicted in 2016 in St. Albans
- He got a suspended sentence and changed his name via deed poll the next day
- This meant his sex offences were not picked up by Spanish background checks
Ben David Rose legally changed his identity after his conviction on child pornography charges in Britain, meaning that he did not appear as a registered sex offender during background checks in Spain.
Rose, previously known as Ben David Lewis, received a two-year suspended sentence in June 2016 for the child pornography offences in the English city of St Albans.
In August of that same year, with a new name and passport, he was working as a nanny in the Spanish city of Zaragoza, before moving to Madrid to nanny for two more young children and work as an English teacher at a private school.
When police later searched his phone, they found dozens of photos and videos of him with girls as young as six inside a classroom.
