These are the faces of people jailed in January for crimes linked to Wirral.
This month, courts heard how two teenage boys abused a vulnerable teenager while, in the words of Liverpool's top judge, she was "essentially asleep".
Other cases brought before the courts involved a drunken thug who pulled a machete from his trousers when he was refused entry to a nightclub.

Judges also heard how a paedophile who was previously handed a suspended sentence failed to tell police of his whereabouts as he claimed he was sleeping under a hedge and had no idea what day it was.
Here are some of the most serious cases related to Wirral that came before the courts in January.
Elsa Frost
Elsa Frost, commonly known as social media's Banter Dancing Queen, threw paint at reality TV star Chelsey Harwood's house as a feud escalated between the pair.
Sefton Magistrates' Court heard Frost posted a series of offensive videos on her TikTok account between January 1 and February 23 last year.
Ms Harwood is transgender and in a number of the videos, which have now been removed, 39-year-old Frost used transphobic language towards her.
The court heard she also went round to an address where Harwood lived and threw paint at the door.
By sending the abusive messages to Ms Harwood and damaging her door, Frost was also in breach of a suspended sentence order handed down to her in 2019 for battery.
Frost, of Whitefield Close in Woodchurch, was sentenced to a total of 18 weeks in prison.
She is also barred from contacting Ms Harwood or referring to her on social media for 12 months.
Frost also has to pay a total of £650 in compensation as well as the victim surcharge.
Leon Clark
Paedophile Leon Clark 's cover story was busted when police heard the ringtone of the mobile he pretended he'd sold.
The 46-year-old lied that he no longer owned the device that investigators had linked to his Wirral home in June of last year.
But officers found the phone behind his radiator, which led to the discovery of 58 images of children being sexually abused.
Clark, of Lingdale Road North, Birkenhead, admitted one count of possessing and three counts of downloading indecent images of children.
The predator - previously jailed for sexually assaulting a girl - also admitted breaching a suspended sentence for failing to comply with sex offender requirements.
He was jailed for 18 months.
Michael Morson
Dog breeder Michael Morson had a special space installed below kennels in his van to stash cocaine and heroin.
He used his business as a cover while involved in a scheme that saw him move a total of 10 kilos of cocaine and four kilos of heroin.
Police found Morson with £25,000 in cash, two Rolex watches, designer clothes and 25kg of cannabis when they arrested him in 2021.
A judge said Morson, 32, and Huyton-based Kevin Baker, 31, who was also dealing cannabis, were involved in dealing "on an almost industrial scale".
Morson, 32, used the handle "LuckySea" on the encrypted phone network EncroChat, while Baker went by the name "SunViking".
Morson, of Paxton Road, Huyton, who admitted conspiring to supply cocaine, heroin and cannabis, was jailed for eight years and seven months.
Texts suggested Baker, of Montgomery Road, Huyton - who was found guilty of the cannabis plot - had dealt in as much as 58 kilos of the drug, and was subsequently jailed for four years.
Nathan Creighton
Nathan Creighton brandished a 'gun' in a Snapchat video while threatening his former girlfriend.
He told his ex, who the ECHO chose not to name, "I've got this for yous" and also filmed himself saying: "If you think I’m f***ing about."
A court was told while it was not known whether the gun was real, his victim was very frightened of the "serial abusive domestic perpetrator".
The yob, who was previously abusive to his ex after their four-month relationship ended, was also violent to police after his arrest in November.
Creighton, 28, formerly of Manor Lane, Liscard, Wallasey, admitted possessing an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
He was jailed for 18 months.
Paul Kemp
A paedophile who failed to tell police where he was staying claimed he was sleeping under a hedge and had no idea what day it was.
Paul Kemp was spared jail in November after offering to pay two 14-year-old boys £20 if he could touch their penises in McDonald's.
Kemp, who admitted two counts of attempting to cause a boy to engage in sexual activity, was handed a nine-month suspended prison sentence.
The 64-year-old had to regularly update police of his whereabouts as a result of being on the Sex Offenders Register, but soon went missing.
He failed to attend a police station and a probation appointment, before he was found at the Mercure Hotel in Little Sutton, Ellesmere Port on December 3.
Kemp, of no fixed address, admitted breaching notification requirements and his suspended sentence.
He was jailed for 12 months.
Nicholas Whitcombe
Gym owner Nicholas Whitcombe 's drug smuggling plot was busted when police found texts from him telling an associate how to 'clean' dirty cash.
Whitcombe, who was fined for refusing to close his Body Tech Fitness site in Moreton during lockdown, was described by a judge as a "professional drug dealer".
His role in the cannabis trafficking and money laundering scheme was exposed through an investigation by Jersey's customs and immigration department.
Whitcombe, 31, from Birkenhead, worked with Jersey-based Anthony Dryden, 31, in a plot valued at more than £54,000, between 2018 and 2019.
He sourced the drugs, which were sent to Jersey, collected and sold by Dryden, who then posted the cash back to UK addresses, provided by Whitcombe.
Both men were jailed for three years.
Luke Browne
Luke Browne pulled a machete from his trousers when he was refused entry to a nightclub.
The 31-year-old has plagued pubs, bars and nightclubs across Birkenhead with violent and anti-social behaviour.
A court heard this has included Browne and gangs of masked youths "intimidating" staff and customers.
He was previously spared jail after he hurled a metal beer keg at the head of Elsa Frost, aka internet personality 'Banter Dancing Queen', at Mr Whites sports bar.
But last October 25 the yob - who has 60 previous convictions for a staggering 106 offences - tried to get into Platinum Bar with a machete, at around 2.40am.
Browne, of Paterson Street, Birkenhead, admitted possessing a bladed article and breaching a suspended sentence.
He was jailed for two years.
Alex Stormont and Taylor Johnson
Two teenagers plotted for days how to take advantage of a drunken woman before sexually assaulting a vulnerable victim in a hotel room.
Alex Stormont and Taylor Johnson abused their victim while, in the words of the judge who sentenced them, she was "essentially asleep".
Their attack followed days of texts between the pair in which they discussed booking a hotel room and planned how to make the attack possible.
The Wirral men, both aged 19 at the time, struck on a night out in Liverpool city centre in March 2018, bringing a woman who "could barely stand up or walk" back to a room they booked at a Travelodge.
The pair performed sexual acts on the woman when she was incapable of giving consent, before she later reported the attacks.
Stormont, now 23, of Woodchurch Road in Oxton, and Johnson, now 23, of Edgbaston Way in Bidston, were both found guilty of two counts of assault by penetration after a trial.
They were jailed for three and a half years each.
