DERBYSHIRE PAEDOPHILE JAILED FOR SENDING GROSS IMAGES TO DECOY
A Derbyshire paedophile who sent “disgusting and depraved” photographs and videos of himself to a 13-year-old girl has been jailed.Christopher Shaw told the teen she was "fit for her age” and encouraged her to send him videos of her touching herself.
The girl was actually a decoy, a self-proclaimed paedophile hunter who contacted the police.
Shaw, aged 57, was sentenced to three years and nine months at Derby Crown Court.
Judge Shaun Smith KC stated: “Your offences involved someone who turned out to be a decoy but you believed she was a 13-year-old girl.
You asked her to keep (your conversations) secret, sent a naked photo of yourself, asked her for a photo and, when she sent a clothed photo, you told her she was ‘fit for her age’.
You knew how old she was.
It involved disgusting and depraved conversations, which are far too serious for anything but immediate custody.” Prosecutor Paul Stimson said the offences date back to 2021, involving online conversations with a girl named Ella who posed as a 13-year-old.
Shaw asked her to keep their conversations secret, sent sexual videos and photos, and made no effort to hide his identity.
He pleaded guilty to charges of attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity, attempting to cause a child to watch a sexual act, and attempting to engage in sexual communication.
He has previous convictions, but they are considered irrelevant.
The judge also ordered Shaw to be on the sex offender register for life and issued a lifetime sexual harm prevention order.
