Latest Offenders Worcestershire

Description

A PAEDOPHILE who offered to 'share' his own unborn baby with other perverts has walked free from court today despite distributing 'revolting' images of young children being abused.

At the time that Nathan Green, 25, was caught by police, his partner was expecting their child and because of what he said to other paedophiles on line his baby was taken into foster care at birth.

Green, formerly of Cross Close in Cirencester, but now of Broad Street in Bromsgrove, admitted distributing and possessing illegal images of children at the worst level, A, as well as in the B and C categories.

Judge Michael Harington sentenced him at Gloucester Crown Court to a two-year jail term suspended for 18 months.

He also ordered him to undergo a community sex offender group programme and a 30-day rehabilitation activity programme.

Green, who was working in a shop in the Duke of Gloucester army barracks in South Cerney at the time of his offending, was placed on the sex offender register for 10 years. A sexual harm prevention order was also made against him.

Prosecutor James Bromige said police arrested Green at his place of work on March 6 this year as a result of intelligence about him sharing paedophile images online.

He called himself 'Crazer49' and in his profile information he wrote 'Young Incest Fun. Have child on the way. Will share."

Mr Bromige said police found 41 still images and two videos at category A on Green's computer hard drive, 62 images and two videos at category B and 202 stills and two videos at category C.

Interviewed twice by police, Green declined to comment.

Mr Bromige said that on chatlogs involving other paedophiles Green was asking about, and being asked for, images of very young children.

He asked one user 'Do you like child?' and another 'Are you into young children?'

"His own child has been born since this and has gone into foster care," Mr Bromige said.

"The defendant has made no offer to assist the police in any further enquiries to find any of the children involved, where the images came from and the identities of the other users. He is of previous good character."

Jonathan Lewis, defending, handed the court references from Green's parents and partner. He said Green 'enjoys their support notwithstanding his offending."

Since being charged, Green had been open and honest about his perversions and was already partway through a sex offender course, Mr Lewis said.

His partner and his father have also been taking courses to learn how to help him with his problems, he added.

"The root of his offending was his sense of isolation and loneliness and his indulgence in this online community," he said.

Judge Harington told Green the images he had been collecting and distributing were 'revolting.'

"The real seriousness of offences such as this is that actual children have to undergo or be involved in performing these revolting acts in order for the stills and videos to be made," he said.

"A prison sentence is inevitable in this case but I am prepared to suspend it."

A KIDDERMINSTER man sentenced to 15 months custody for sex offences against a 13-year-old girl will be released in a few weeks, Worcester Crown Court was told. For Thomas Lloyd-Perks had been held on remand in a young offenders institution waiting for his case to come before the court, said his barrister Abigail Nixon. The 20-year-old, of Worcester Road, had pleaded guilty in September last year to sexual activity with the girl and taking indecent photographs of her genitals. He was ordered to sign the sex offender register for 10 years. Judge Robert Juckes QC also made a sexual harm prevention order banning Lloyd-Perks from contact with any child under the age of 16 for five years. Siobhan Collins, prosecuting, said Lloyd-Collins was only 17 in 2012 when he met the girl, who was to become his victim, at an activity group. She lost interest in the group but he continued to bombard her with messages on Facebook. At one stage he invited her to go to the nightclub where he said he was earning 150,000 a year. Her mother had tried to block the friendship and said he could only come to the house after 5pm when she was there. But Lloyd-Perks continued sexual talk and the pair met in secret. He persuaded her to strip so that he could tell whether she was "a girl or a woman" and also took pictures of her private parts. When she told her mother what had happened, the police were informed and analysis of his phone disclosed the pictures he had taken. In an impact statement the girl said she had been made to feel gullible. Miss Nixon, mitigating, submitted references and said Lloyd-Perks was of good character and was well-supported by his family. He was regarded as an ideal prisoner while in custody and had been a pleasure to teach on a mentoring course. Judge Juckes said Lloyd-Perks had been a very manipulative young man who had taken advantage of a 13-year-old girl. There was always the danger that pictures taken in private could get into the social media.

A CHILD sex fiend who worked with kids at author Beatrix Potters former home was caught with a sickening stash of porn.

Aaron Sanders, 21, was the second instructor to be caught with hardcore child porn at the Dalguise outdoor activity centre in Perthshire once the summer home of the Peter Rabbit writer.

His depraved collection, including scenes of toddlers being raped, was uncovered when he lent his laptop computer to colleagues.

The images were described by experts as among the worst they had ever seen, Perth Sheriff Court was told yesterday.

The Dalguise centre, run by PGL Travel, is used by schools for outdoor holidays for pupils from seven to 16.

Yesterday, Sanders was placed under supervision for three years as part of a community payback order and told to attend sex offender group work sessions.

The court heard Sanders had downloaded images after using search terms including 14-year-old Russian girls and pregnant 13-year-old.

John McLaughlin, defending, claimed Sanders, from Kidderminster, Worcestershire, who admitted possessing the indecent images, had been trying to search for adult porn.

He said:

These images were downloaded and deleted from his computer. He had no interest in these matters but has to accept responsibility for possession of them.

A spokesman for PGL Travel said they had followed proper procedures and added:

We take the safeguarding of children in our care extremely seriously.

In 2010, PGL team leader Mathew Faulds was jailed after being caught with child porn at Dalguise.

Sheriff Lindsay Foulis jailed Faulds, 26, from Dundee, for a year and added a further three-year period under supervision after his release.

Faulds admitted having child pornography and told police: I was into child pornography. I thought I had deleted it before I went to Dalguise.
