MAN FROM ST HELENS JAILED AFTER FILMING HIMSELF RAPING BABY
Adam Waring, from St Helens, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday 22 January after pleading guilty to a number of child sex offences, drug offences and beastiality.The 35-year-old's offences were against a baby girl under the age of 12 months in May 2025.
Waring pleaded guilty to two counts of rape, six counts of making indecent photographs of a child, sexual assault, possession of extreme pornography, sexual activity with a living animal, and possession of a Class A drug (cocaine).
Waring was sentenced to a total of 22 years and eight months, but will serve just 14 years and eight months of his sentence in prison before spending the remaining eight years on licence.
He was also given an indefinite restraining order and an indefinite sexual harm prevention order, and must sign the Sex Offenders Register for life.
Detective Chief Inspector Chris Saidi said: “The cruelty and depravity Waring inflicted on his victim is impossible to comprehend.
He put an innocent and defenceless baby through the most harrowing ordeal purely for his own depraved gratification.
While no prison sentence will undo the harm and suffering he has caused, it is right that he will now spend many years behind bars for his heinous crimes and I hope he reflects on the damage he has done.
