Description
A predator who sought a child to sexually abuse and was then caught with almost 1,000 indecent images has been jailed.
We discovered Adam Khan had been interacting with others online to find a child he could carry out sex attacks on.
Officers from our Force Priorities Team established he was meeting with someone he believed could arrange for this to happen.
However, they intercepted this meeting and arrested Khan in Great Barr in July last year.
After seizing digital devices from him we found almost 1,000 indecent images and videos of children. There was evidence he'd also distributed images of children.
Khan pleaded guilty to arranging or facilitating the rape of a child under the age of 13 and distribution of indecent images between June and July last year.
The 30-year-old from Great Barr was jailed for nine years and six months at Birmingham Crown Court last Wednesday (18 March).
Detective Sergeant Nick McCullogh, from our Force Priorities Team, said:
"Khan was intent on meeting a child who he could sexually abuse.
"We were able to stop his disgusting plan, and uncover the full extent of his offending, to ensure he has been sent to jail for many years."
