Nottingham Desford Child Sexual Abuser
In a disturbing case that has sent shockwaves through the communities of Desford and Nottingham, Mandeep Singh, a 28-year-old IT teacher, has been sentenced to prison after admitting to a series of heinous internet-related sex offences involving minors. The offences, which spanned from September 2010 to January 2013, included the possession and distribution of indecent images of children, as well as multiple counts of inciting children to engage in sexual activities via webcam.
Singh, who was employed as an IT teacher at Bosworth Academy in Desford—formerly known as Bosworth College—was brought before Leicester Crown Court to face justice. During the proceedings, he pleaded guilty to a total of 18 charges related to his online misconduct. The court was informed that Singh’s actions did not involve students from his school, and Judge Michael Pert QC emphasized this point during sentencing.
Prosecutor Victoria Rose detailed how the police investigation unfolded. Tayside police received a report from an internet user claiming to have been contacted by someone from Leicester who possessed indecent images of children. The email address associated with this individual was traced back to Singh, leading to his arrest at Bosworth Academy on March 27 of the previous year.
Authorities discovered that Singh’s devices—his mobile phone and laptop—contained numerous indecent images of children. Additionally, chat logs stored on his home computer revealed disturbing conversations and plans. Among these were webcam photographs Singh had taken of his victims, along with other illegal images sourced from the internet. The investigation also uncovered chat logs where Singh advised a fellow pervert to seek babysitting jobs on Gumtree, suggesting he had found one involving a 13-year-old boy and contemplating applying for it.
Further evidence revealed that Singh had discussed meeting with this online acquaintance at locations such as Alton Towers and family-oriented venues like caravan parks, with the intent to “perv on kids.” The court heard that Singh had instructed a 13-year-old victim to perform lewd acts, calling him “daddy and master,” and had taken 13 indecent photographs of the boy, sending him an additional 20 images. Singh also suggested the boy involve his younger brother in sexual activities, which the victim refused.
In a separate case, Singh maintained a consensual online relationship with a 17-year-old male but later attempted to contact the ex-partner’s 13-year-old brother. When blocked online, Singh created a fake female email account to persuade the young boy to expose himself. He also instructed a 15-year-old to film indecent images of his five-year-old nephew while the child was asleep, and even suggested the boy perform a sex act on the infant, which was refused.
Singh, who resides on Ebers Close in Nottingham, was subjected to a 10-year sexual offences prevention order. This order restricts his future use of computers, with monitoring measures in place, and prohibits any unsupervised contact with boys under 16 or with males under 18 living in his household.
During mitigation, Claire Davies highlighted Singh’s fall from grace, stating, “He’s gone from a man who had everything, effectively to a man who has nothing. He’s brought shame on his family, who are aware of some of this, but not the full extent.” She also clarified that no evidence of misconduct was found on his school-issued equipment, as Singh kept his personal devices separate from his professional tools.
Singh admitted to 10 counts of making or downloading indecent images of children, which included a total of 397 images at the lowest level of severity, along with others at higher levels, culminating in four images classified as the most serious, level five. The court was informed that Singh had no prior convictions, making this a particularly grave case of online child exploitation.
