42-year-old Pervert made profiles of young girls for use on chat rooms

A father who has admitted four offences of downloading indecent images of children will be sentenced next month.

Gavin Murphy, 42, of Currock Park Avenue, Currock, Carlisle, had been due to be sentenced at Carlisle Crown Court yesterday but lawyers said they needed more time to prepare the case.

The court heard how the defendant had made internet profiles of young girls for use on chat rooms and prosecutor Kim Whittlestone said additional time was needed to explore that aspect of the case.

Judge Peter Hughes QC adjourned the case to July 10.

Murphy was granted bail with conditions including that he should have no unsupervised access with anyone aged under 18.

A 25-year-old pervert from Millom has been jailed for a total of 40 months for a series of sexual offences against children

Preston Crown Court heard that Sean Andrew Young, of Festival Road, Millom incited under-age girls on three separate occasions to engage in sexual activity.

A fourth charge related to engaging in sexual activity with a schoolboy between August 14, 2012 and April 27 2013

A fourth young victim decided not to go to court and the charges relating to that schoolgirl were dropped by the prosecution

The volunteer at the local amateur drama society targeted the 13-year-old and 14-year old victims by grooming them on social networking sites including Facebook and encouraging them into sexual activity.

The court heard Young also made SKYPE calls to the youngsters whilst masturbating in full view.

No offences relate to the drama society.

A young man who sexually touched two young girls is to be sentenced by a judge at Carlisle Crown Court.

Joseph William Bradley entered guilty pleas to three offences when he appeared before magistrates in Carlisle yesterday morning.

Prosecutor John Moran said the offences came to light after one of the girls, who was eleven at the time, became distressed and told her parents.

Bradley, of Lyndhurst Gardens, Morton, Carlisle, committed two of the offences in 2011 and one in October of last year, magistrates heard.

Mr Moran described how the second offence involving the same girl when she was just eight years old came to light after Bradley confessed it to his parents.

“He confirmed exactly the same thing had occurred when the girl was a lot younger,” said Mr Moran. “She pushed his hands away.”

Bradley went on to admit a third similar offence against another girl, who was aged 11 or 12.

“He said he had watched adult pornography and this caused problems for him, though he had never seen any indecent images of children.

“He knew the girl was 11 or 12 at the time and he knew that it was wrong to touch girls for sexual gratification if they were as young as these girls.”

Anthony Wilson, for Bradley, said: “He admits that he wanted to get this off his chest.

“He feels guilty. He knows he’s done wrong.”

Presiding magistrate Marcia Reid Fotheringham said that the bench felt their sentencing powers were not sufficient for the case so Bradley would be sentenced at crown court by a judge.

He will be sentenced on July 10.

In the meantime, background reports will be prepared and he must sign the Sex Offenders Register, and the period for which his name remains on it will be determined by his ultimate sentence.

Bradley, who was supported in court by his family, was granted bail.

A paedophile who received a caution last year for possession of indecent images of children has been arrested for the sexual assault on a five-year-old girl

Former Sainsburys delivery driver, Michael Whitaker 26, originally from Lancaster but now living in Penrith now faces a trial after he admitted possessing two mobile phones which he had wiped but denied the charge of sexual assault

In October last year, police seized two laptops, a tablet and a mobile phone belonging to Whitaker which contained indecent images of children who were aged between six and sixteen years old.

Police also found a profile Whitaker used on a site which allowed the distribution of images including pictures of child abuse. 

Whitaker had uploaded the pictures onto the site which he had taken from Facebook, including pictures of his friends children and also pictures of his ex girlfriend, which is how they identified the profile as being his. The profile was also linked to one of his many email addresses.

He received a caution for this and his seized computer equipment was ordered to be forfeited and destroyed.
