Description
A 19-year-old paedophile, Marley Bracher from Barry, was caught with child rape videos on his phone during a meeting with his MOSOVO officer at the town's police station.
Bracher, previously convicted of similar offences, breached his SHPO by contacting a 15-year-old girl who sent him a photo in her school uniform. The SHPO, imposed after a suspended sentence at Cardiff Crown Court in March for making indecent images of children, prohibited contact with anyone under 18.
His June phone search revealed two category A images (the most serious), one category B, and 23 category C. One category A was a three-and-a-half-minute video of a girl aged seven to eight being raped by a man.
He gave a no-comment interview. Further evidence showed he deleted 170 web searches and created Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat accounts under false names.
Bracher, of Holton Road, pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images and three SHPO breaches.
Defence barrister Richard Ace described a "deep-seated problem" and urged community rehabilitation over custody.
Judge Eugene Egan said:
"You present a high risk of reoffending and you breached your order soon after it was made. You only have yourself to blame – you were given a chance in March and you didn’t take it."
Bracher was jailed for 16 months at a young offender institution and must register as a sex offender for 10 years.
