Calls for paedophile who raped 'bullied' girl, 12, to be handed 107-year sentence - after he also offered her to other men on the internet
Spanish prosecutors are seeking to put a paedophile who raped a vulnerable 12-year-old girl and offered her up to other men on the internet behind bars for 107 years. The paedophile, a 45-year-old man who has only been identified as 'TLM', has already been found guilty of attacking the young girl, described as a child in the care system who suffered 'low self-esteem' caused by 'bullying at school and at home.' In 2020, TLM began messaging the victim through the Badoo messaging app, before moving on to Instagram and Google Hangouts. He began raping her at the care home she was in, whose care she was put under due to having a mother too unwell to take care of her, and took several indecent photos and videos of the girl with the intentions of sharing them online. During his sick visits, TLM would show her pornographic films 'so the minor could watch them and loosen her inhibitions' and 'forced her to have sex,' according to the indictment. He also convinced her to be photographed and recorded in her underwear, naked, or submitting to the sexual practices he imposed on her. In November 2020, TLM took his assaults a step further, and began impersonating her on Instagram and European dating app Lovoo 'in order not only to achieve sexual relations with her himself, but also to simultaneously watch other men having sexual relations with the minor in his presence, in order to further satisfy his lustful desire', prosecutors said. As a result of his 'indiscriminate offering' of her to online users, TLM took at least 20 videos of the girl being raped by himself or other men. Following a raid on his home, cops found 232 photographs and nine videos of the child, as well as a further 576 videos and 889 digital photographs downloaded from illicit messaging platforms containing child abuse content on his phone. Similar material was found on TLM's laptop, as well as several hard drives. On top of seeking more than a century of jail time for the sick paedophile, prosecutors are also asking the Barcelona Court of Appeals, based in the High Court of Justice of Catalonia, to place a 25-year ban on him being within the child's home, school or workplace. On top of this, they are seeking for the man to be banned from any profession that requires him to be regular contact with children, as well as €100,000 (£84,000) in compensation for the child.

Fife paedophile's horrific 'daughter' comments to dating app contact
A convicted paedophile plucked a young girl's image from the internet then sent it to a woman, claiming it was his daughter and asking if she wanted him to perform a sex act on the child. Archibald Smith's sick move came shortly after he sent a video of himself masturbating to the woman. Fiscal depute Sarah Smith told Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court the woman met Smith on the Badoo internet dating site and their conversation moved to Snapchat. She was horrified by the turn the conversation had taken and notified police. The offence was committed just three months after Smith was released from prison for previous sexual offences. In a chilling echo of his latest offending, in 2018 he was in court for sending unsolicited child abuse material to a woman on Whatsapp. The court heard Smith had sent some sexual pictures to the complainer, about which she was not concerned. The prosecutor said: 'After sending a video of him masturbating the accused sent a message stating that he nearly got caught due to his daughter being in the vicinity. 'The accused then stated 'I had to tuck it up so that she could cuddle in'. 'The witness replied to this with a laughing emoji. The accused thereafter sent a picture of a young girl.' The girl appeared to be between three and five and was fully clothed in a top, tutu and leggings. Smith texted the woman with graphic sexual messages which she initially believed referred to her but realised he was actually speaking about the young girl. The shocked woman confronted Smith, who replied he was joking and did not have a daughter, claiming the image was of a 'random'. After repeatedly calling him a 'paedo', the woman told Smith she was reporting him. Smith reacted by blocking her. The prosecutor said The Crown believes there was a 'significant sexual element' to the offence. Smith, of Ramsay Lane, Kincardine, admitted behaving in a threatening and abusive manner by sending the woman an image of a child and making sexual remarks about children, in August 2022. Solicitor David Bell, defending, confirmed Smith did not have a child and had taken the image from the internet. Sentence was deferred for reports and Smith was remanded in custody. In 2018, Smith was arrested as he left court. The pervert had been bailed after sentencing was deferred for background reports when he admitted possessing vile images of bestiality and babies and children being abused. Police immediately caught up with him again and he was charged with distributing indecent images to a horrified woman over Whatsapp. At that time, Sheriff James Williamson said what started out as apparently 'adult, consensual cyber sex soon deteriorated.' He was jailed for a total of three years and eight months.
