Pervert ex-teacher William Preece, 32, tells schoolgirl ‘love being naughty’ in sick sex chat

A former teacher who had sex chats with underage girls online and had images of child abuse was snared in a police sting.

William Preece had sex chats with four underage girls before messaging an undercover police officer who was posing as a 14-year-old girl

The 32-year-old was handed a three-year community order after pleading guilty to five counts of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child, one count of inciting a girl aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity and two counts of making indecent images of children.

He was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register and made the subject of a five-year sexual harm prevention order.

Prosecutor Catherine Duffy said an undercover police officer was posing as a teenager called ‘JS’ when Preece messaged the profile in August 2018.

She said the profile had been set to the minimum age of 18 and Preece’s first message asked the ‘girl’ her age.

The officer replied saying the girl was 14 and Preece asked: “Like older guys?”

Their conversation continued and Preece asked the ‘girl’ to send him a photo so she sent him a photo of her face.

Later that month, the ‘girl’ messaged him saying: “I am well younger than you”.

He responded saying he used to be a teacher and the conversation turned to birth control before he said: “Think a preggo 14-year-old might be hard to explain haha”.

He also asked her to wear her school uniform to meet him.

Officers attended his home on Novale Way in Wakefield in October that year. He was arrested and taken to a police station. His house was searched and a number of devices were seized, including a tablet and a computer tower.

In his police interview, he said his partner was not as ‘sexual’ as him and when she went to work he felt aroused so he would chat to younger females online.

He claimed he would end the conversation if they were under the age of 16 and meeting up with ‘JS’ was only a fantasy.

He also denied that other conversations with children or indecent images would be found on his devices.

But Ms Duffy said he had sexual conversations with four other young girls, including one in which he suggested having sex with a 15-year-old before she ‘turned legal’.

He told another 15-year-old: “Love being naughty haha. Hope you can keep secrets. Send pics.” He also asked her if she would let him have sex with her.

She said police tried to identify the victims but could not due to the passage of time.

Ms Duffy said police also found indecent images on his devices. Six videos were in the most serious category.

She said he had also visited more than 60 pornorgraphy websites with the word ‘young’ in the URL. Some included the words ‘school fun’ and ‘underage’.

In his second police interview, Preece said he thought he had been talking to females in their late teens and early 20s and he did not know there were any indecent images of children on his devices.

Preece, now of Garlick Street, Brighouse, had no convictions prior to this case.

Preece’s community order includes requirements to complete 25 days of rehabilitation activity, 31 sessions of a sex offender treatment programme and 150 hours of unpaid work.

Face of evil pervert who groomed step-daughter to be his sexual plaything and got her pregnant

A Halifax sex predator has been jailed after he sexually “groomed” his own step-daughter and then got her pregnant.

Judge Neil Davey QC said Anthony Webster’s crimes against Kaitlin Jenner represented “a massive breach of trust” and he had groomed her to be his sexual plaything

He said the 47-year-old had given the teenager treats, and later cannabis joints and alcohol, so that she truly thought she was “daddy’s special girl”.

Bradford Crown Court heard that Webster, of Glen Terrace, Halifax, started having sex with his step-daughter when she was 15 and Judge Davey said she was so “besotted” with him that she made trips to see him even after her mother split from the defendant and they moved to Scotland.

Following Webster’s conviction by a jury last month, the victim waived her right to anonymity and the court heard that after getting pregnant at 16 she gave birth to a daughter in 2015.

In a victim impact statement read to the court by prosecutor Stephen Wood QC, the victim now 23, said she was finally getting justice for the abuse.

She said she now felt ”blessed” to have a beautiful daughter and was hoping to move on and stop living in the past following the trial and Webster’s sentencing.

She said she hoped to make her daughter proud and not just be a victim.

Webster, who had previous convictions for a variety of offences including assaults, burglary and cannabis production, admitted two charges of sexual activity with a child family member and was found guilty by the jury of two charges of sexual activity with a child under 16.

He was jailed for 13 years for the sex offences and given an additional two years in prison for a shocking assault on a man outside the Cat and Fiddle pub in Halifax back in August 2019.

Judge Davey imposed a concurrent two-year prison sentence on Webster after he also admitted a production of cannabis charge relating to a sophisticated cannabis farm which was found in the cellar of his home in February 2019.

Webster will now have to register as a sex offender with the police for the rest of his life and he will also be subject to a sexual harm prevention order which restricts his contact with under 16s.

Paedophile snared by group who live-streamed confrontation on Facebook

A paedophile has been jailed for two years after he was snared by the child protection organisation Net Justice who live-streamed the confrontation on Facebook.

Martin Limbert was almost 60 when he sent photos of his penis to what he believed was a girl of 13 and said he wanted her to stay in his bed naked overnight.

Prosecutor Chloe Hudson told Bradford Crown Court today that a women volunteer from Net Justice put up a false profile of the child “Lisa” that Limbert found on an online dating site for over 18s.

She said straight away that she was 13 years of age and repeated that at least 11 more times, the court was told.

Limbert said he was 47 and sent her indecent images of himself on WhatsApp. In 48 hours, he had messaged seven sexual photos and two videos.

Members of Net Justice went to his home on June 7, 2018, and streamed the confrontation on Facebook Live, Miss Hudson said.

The police were called and after he was arrested, officers found messages from him including: “When you stop here, you get naked.”

He had also sent “Lisa” photos of his penis and himself committing a sex act.

Limbert, now 62, of Rose Mount, Halifax, told the police he regretted what he had done and had begun to suspect that “Lisa” was a hoax.

He said he had no sexual interest in children and would never have turned up to meet the girl.

The court was told that Limbert’s solicitors at the magistrates’ court at first thought he might run the defence of entrapment.

He went on to plead guilty to attempting to communicate sexually with a child of 13, attempting to cause a child to watch a sexual act, and attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity, all between April and June, 2018.

Judge Andrew Hatton jailed Limbert for two years and made a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for ten years

He must also sign on the sex offender register for ten years

Batley paedophile downloaded videos of young girls being abused

A paedophile who searched for and downloaded videos of young children being abused has avoided jail.

Hungarian national Maher Viragh, also known as Maher Faraj, was caught with indecent images on two occasions.

Leeds Crown Court heard more than 150 of the images were in the most serious category.

The 26-year-old, of Blakeridge Lane, Batley, was handed a suspended sentence after pleading guilty to six counts of making indecent images of children.

He was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register for 10 years and made subject to a 10-year sexual harm prevention order.

Prosecutor Chloe Hudson said Viragh was released under investigation after police seized his devices then committed more offences.

She said he had software to cover his digital footprint and he used search terms such as ‘PTHC’, ‘Russian paedo’ and ‘eight-year-old girl’.

In his first police interview, Viragh said he said he accidentally stumbled upon the images and claimed he downloaded them for evidence and denied distributing them.

In his second police interview, he was asked why he kept returning to the website that hosted the images and he said he was looking for information to report the website.

The pervert came to England three years ago and has never worked, instead living off benefits

Viragh was handed a 15-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, with requirements to complete 100 hours of unpaid work and 40 days of rehabilitation activity.
