Description
A paedophile who asked a 13-year-old girl to call him “daddy” has been jailed for more than four years.
Mickey Boots, 28, of London Road, Yaxley, began speaking to the victim from Lancashire on 18 March 2023 when he added her on Snapchat.
They also spoke on Whatsapp, with Boots claiming he was 17 and the girl repeatedly telling him she was 13.
Boots encouraged her to touch herself and asked to see inappropriate images of her.
He also sent her some inappropriate photos in return and asked her to save his number in her phone as “daddy”.
Boots called her while touching himself and the conversations ended on 21 March 2023.
The victim reported Boots to Lancashire Police and Cambridgeshire officers attended his home to arrest him and seize devices.
In interview, Boots became agitated and accused officers of “antagonising” him when phone recordings of him speaking to the victim were played.
On Monday (23 June), at Peterborough Crown Court, Boots was jailed for four-and-a-half years, having pleaded guilty to engaging in sexual communications with a child and cause/incite a girl to engage in sexual activity.
He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register indefinitely.
