Ashburton man sent decoy 12-year-old naked photos of himself
A 48-year-old pervert was caught after the 12-year-old girl he sent a naked picture to turned out to be an undercover police officer.
Colin Parry, of Ashburton, sent messages to the ‘girl’ about the sexual activity he would like to have with her, Exeter Crown Court was told.
The increasingly sexualised emails were traced back to him and he was arrested. On his laptop police found images of children being sexually abused.
Parry told police it was all a mistake and he did not have an interest in children.
But he admitted four offences relating to his communication with the undercover officer and possessing indecent images of children when he appeared at court.
Ms Mary McCarthy, prosecuting, said the offending took place between October 2017 and March 2018.
She said he made contact with a girl he thought was 12 years old, telling her he was in his 30s and early 40s.
He began by asking if she liked boys and soon turned the conversation to his sex life and what they should do together. He sent her photos of his penis and masturbating.
Images found on his laptop included those in the worst category of child abuse.
“He clearly had either sent of received images,” said the prosecutor.
Judge Davis Evans said it was not a victimless crime because the children in the images had been abused by adults.
Parry, of Home Park, was given a two-year community order and 40 days rehabilitation.
He was given a sexual harm prevention order to monitor and limit his use of computers in the future.
Pervert dad asked ‘girl’, 13, about her body hair in sick sexual chats
A dad-of-three asked a 13-year-old girl about her body hair in sick sexual chats.
Mark Jones discussed meeting up for “sexual purposes” with a child he thought was 30 years younger than him.
But the 43-year-old was actually talking to an undercover police officer who was posing as “Izzy” on a dating website.
Liverpool Crown Court heard Jones, then of Netherton, Merseyside, started talking to her on social network site Fast Flirting on November 13, 2020.
Rebecca Smith, prosecuting, said Jones, using the profile name Jay33, asked what Izzy’s Facebook account was and her age.
He was told she was 13 and from Nottinghamshire, but enquired what she looked like, if she wanted to be friends, and if he was too old for her.
Jones asked for her phone number but said he wouldn’t text all the time in case they got in trouble, before he turned the topic of conversation to sex in WhatsApp chats.
Ms Smith said he asked about her body hair and whether she had a boyfriend, and when Izzy said she had an ex-boyfriend Jones asked whether they’d had “any action”.
He asked what sexual experience she had, what size her breasts were and what her mum would think about their chats and whether she would contact the police.
The court heard Jones said they could never meet up, in case they both got in trouble, but then asked if they did meet up, what she “would let him do to her”.
He said: “If we do anything, I will wear a condom if it goes that far.”
Police arrested Jones at his home on December 7, seized his phone and recovered the WhatsApp chat.
Jones, now of Bootle, admitted attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child.
Recorder Ian Unsworth, QC, ordered Jones to sign on the Sex Offenders Register and comply with a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for seven years.
The judge said “from the very outset” Jones thought he was talking to a 13-year-old, and questioned her “about her body”, personal appearance and “sex life”.
Convicted paedophile fled to Truro after riots outside his house
A Scottish man who sent pictures of his penis to girls he thought were 12 and 13 years old has been ordered to remain confined to the house in Cornwall which he fled to.
Nicholas Denison, 62, was convicted in June for sending the pictures to the girls he believed to be in their tweens and handed an electronic tag curfew for his home in Crossgates, in Fife in Scotland.
However, after riots outside his Scotland house and his wife leaving him, Denison fled to Truro in July.
His neighbours in Crossgates had said they did not want to bring up children near him, with one even being fined £320 for shouting “f*****g beast” outside his house.
The move to Truro was a breach of his restriction of liberty order, and he was threatened with jail should he remain in England.
Dunfermline Sheriff Court heard in July that Denison had moved out of Scotland, and suspended the order for three months.
A court hearing was called on to decide whether to send him to prison.
Denison, however, did not show up again to the new hearing.
At this new hearing, a legal representative further said Denison’s wife had left him, and that he had no plans to leave England.
Sheriff Wylie Robertsson decided to hand Denison a new three-month electronic tag curfew, to be served at the address in Truro.
This runs alongside the 300 hours of unpaid work and three years of supervision.

Neighbours write to sheriff about fears over Fife paedophile in their community
Neighbours of a Fife paedophile wrote a letter to a sheriff to express their concerns about him living in their community
Nicholas Denison,61, used the social media network Kik to send vile images, along with pornographic videos, to accounts he believed were being used by children.
However the accounts were actually decoys being run by police officers.
Dunfermline Sheriff Court heard when Denison’s offending came to light, his neighbours wrote directly to Sheriff Charles Macnair.
They said they feel unable to allow their children to play freely in their cul-de-sac in light of his offences.
Despite their two-page missive, Sheriff Macnair declined to impose a custodial sentence.
He said he was able to impose a longer supervision period on Denison than if he had jailed him.
Sheriff Macnair said while the offence met the threshold for a custodial sentence, it would be less substantial than the ones available if Denison had appeared before a jury.
He noted Denison would be under supervision for a longer period if he imposed a “high level” community disposal.
He said: “You committed these offences over a significant period of weeks.
“You thought you were contacting young girls. In fact, happily, you were in contact with police officers.
“Although you say it was not your intention to have contact this sort of offending often does lead to contact and is typical grooming behaviour.
“I have seen the letter from neighbours and can well understand their concerns at living in the same cul-de-sac as someone who commits these types of offences.
“Unfortunately there’s nothing I can do about that.
“Any custodial sentence I could impose would be very lenient and would not result in adequate punishment or protection to the public.”
Denison, of Baxter Road, Crossgates, was placed on a three-year supervision order and ordered to carry out 300 hours of unpaid work.
He was also placed on an overnight curfew for a period of four months and made subject of conditions, including that he must have no contact with anyone under the age of 16 without prior approval.
He was placed on the sex offenders register.
The court had previously heard the pervert believed he had sent 11 graphic photographs and videos to an account belonging to a 13-year-old.
He also sent “numerous” indecent photographs to another account, purportedly belonging to a 12-year-old.
He had sent the images under the username “Jaww Blowws”.
Police swooped on his address, at which point Denison confessed all.
Last month he admitted sending explicit material to a people he believed to be 12 and 13-year-olds in January and February.
Paedophile who tried to meet up with decoy acting as 12-year-old boy caught and jailed
A paedophile who tried to meet up with someone he thought was a 12-year-old boy has been jailed.
Macauley Webb had been messaging an undercover police officer posing as a 12-year-old boy on networking and dating app Grindr and WhatsApp before attempting to meet him.
Cardiff Crown Court heard the 24-year-old had asked the child to become his boyfriend and asked whether he would kiss him.
Joshua Scouller, prosecuting, said that on May 14 this year Webb liked a Grindr profile called ‘Welsh Romeo’ and began messaging the undercover police officer before they exchanged phone numbers and their conversation moved onto WhatsApp.
The court heard that Webb was told “early in the conversation” that the boy was aged 12 and was nearly 13.
Webb asked the boy to become his boyfriend and whether he would kiss him before asking him if they could perform oral sex on each other.
On May 18 Webb attempted to meet the child in the car park of the Morrisons supermarket in Cwmbran where he was arrested by police who seized his mobile phone.
Webb, of Gaer Vale, Newport, admitted to attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming and attempting to engage in sexual activity with a child.
The court heard he has 11 previous convictions for 27 offences including possessing indecent images of children.
Judge Richard Williams told Webb the offending represented a “serious escalation in your paedophilia”.
He said: “I note that this was an attempt and that the child was fictional. While that reduces the harm caused it does not reduce the harm intended. This represents a serious escalation in your paedophilia. You have not been able to address your offending or sexual appetite. You do pose a significant risk of causing serious harm.”
Webb was made the subject of an eight year extended sentence, made up of a four year custodial sentence and an extended licence period of four years.
Newport paedophile admits child sex offences
A now three time convicted paedophile has been remanded in custody after he admitted intending to meet a 12-year-old boy following sexual grooming.
Macauley Webb, 24, of Gaer Vale, Newport, also pleaded guilty to attempting to engage in sexual activity with a child.
The city’s crown court heard how the offences took place last month.
Webb’s sentence was adjourned for the preparation of a report.
The defendant, who appeared via video link from Bridgend’s Parc Prison, was represented by Gareth Williams and the prosecution by Joshua Scouller.
Judge Geraint Walters warned Webb: “A custodial sentence is inevitable.”
His sentence is due to take place on July 1.
In 2016, he was convicted of possession of indecent photos of kids, and he re-offended in 2018 after he was caught and convicted for possessing indecent image of kids
Newport man avoids jail after downloading hundreds of moving images of children
A Newport man has avoided jail after admitting three counts of possessing indecent images of children, two years after receiving a community order for the same offence.
Macauley Webb,22, of Monnow Way, Newport, was already the subject of a three year community order and Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) after being caught with indecent photographs of children in 2016.
Cardiff Crown Court heard he had already committed one “technical breach” of the order since it was imposed.
But despite this, Webb was able to use his mobile phone to download 416 moving images of children to a storage cloud.
Of these, 228 were classed as category A, the most serious, 112 as category B and 76 as category C.
Cardiff Crown Court heard that officers found the defendant had wiped his phone’s history during a check on June 25 this year, and confiscated it.
“The officers were able to see the phone had a cloud account attached,” said prosecutor Timothy Evans.
“They took the phone away and asked the defendant for the password. He gave the incorrect details.”
But, continued Mr Evans, Webb later admitted downloading the images to the cloud to a support worker at his residential home.
When the police returned to the home, Webb was truthful with them and admitted downloading the images.
“He did say that there were family difficulties,” added Mr Evans.
“An older man in the family was encouraging him at that time, he said.”
In sentencing, Judge Neil Bidder QC told Webb he knew that downloading these images was wrong.
“You know why it is so wrong. Because the abuse of these children is terrible, and it perpetuated by people like you who watch this sick images.
“You know because you were convicted in 2016 of possession of indecent photos.
On Wednesday, December 12, Judge Bidder gave Webb an eight month sentence, suspended for two years.
He was made the subject of a SHPO for 10 years and ordered to complete 20 days of rehabilitation activities and 200 hours of unpaid work.
