Bernard Moore 59

Description

A paedophile jailed for filming his sexual abuse of underage boys on spy cams hidden in his Princes Risborough house of horrors has been branded "calculated and vile" by police.

Bernard Moore, 57, of Cannon Place, was sent down for 13 years and four months after his twisted behaviour was unmasked late last year when Australian police stumbled across the videos online.

Judge Maria Lamb was last week told that the boys were encouraged to perform sexual acts on themselves, with each other and on More, who filmed the encounters and uploaded them to a Russia-based pornographic site.

The boys were given beer to drink and in some of the footage appeared drunk. In other clips they were asleep while More molested them.

Speaking out after he was jailed at Oxford Crown Court last week, Detective Constable Leanne Moody, of the Child Abuse Investigation Unit, based at Oxford police station, praised his distraught victims for their bravery.

She said: "Moore was a calculated and vile individual who preyed on the most vulnerable children.

The victims in this case, bravely spoke up about their abuse which has taken place over several years.

If it was not for the courage of these victims, Moores offending would have continued.

Moore not only sexually abused his victims, but he filmed the abuse to share with other individuals.

The impact of his offending has had an enormous effect on his victims and their families.

I hope the sentence will provided some closure to the victims and I thank them for their courage and strength throughout the course of this investigation.
