QUESTION: Did Joseph have any other criminal convictions? I’ve come across claims suggesting that he was not convicted of a sexual offence involving his partner, but that he was convicted of the murder of a child and sentenced to 24 years in prison in 2016. Can anyone confirm this with reliable sources?
RESPONSE: Joseph Spencer has no conviction of any kind for murder. In fact, Joseph has no other criminal convictions whatsoever, anywhere, other than the conviction involving his partner that is being addressed on this site.
Joseph is not currently in prison. He was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment in April 2016, after being on remand since May 2015, and was released in January 2020.
Claims suggesting that he was convicted of murdering a child or sentenced to 24 years in prison are entirely false. Unfortunately, fake news and misleading content are circulating online, and we appreciate this being brought to our attention so it can be clarified publicly.
The people behind this fake news attack are no strangers. They are testing our boundaries, knowing that the “Act” in itself is a criminal offence. But as the African proverb says:
“The hunter does not rub oil on himself and then sleep by the fire.”
A fitting way to read this proverb here is that no one takes a serious risk without preparation or backing by those who are testing patience with distractions and planning bigger movement. We are not ignoring it. We are managing it.
“You do not sharpen a spear on every stone.” – Shaka Zulu
The coordinated nature of the fake news effort suggests intent, resources, and protection—not impulsive behaviour. In other words, this wasn’t accidental; it was calculated. Our silence on this issue is timing.
Our website is the only original and reliable source of information regarding Joseph Spencer’s conviction. Other sites making different claims or trying to cast the narratives in different way are inaccurate, misleading, and often clickbait created to serve scam agendas.
We encourage readers to browse wisely and verify sources carefully.
Joseph remain grounded in his campaign against this miscarriage of justice.
