Dangerous paedophile, 45, who arranged with mother to rape her 12-year-old daughter is jailed for 20 years

An 'undoubtedly dangerous' paedophile who arranged with the mother of a 12-year-old girl how he would rape her daughter has received 20 years imprisonment. John Davies, 45, discussed in 'graphic detail' how he would carry out the sordid act, with the parent arranging for the sick sex offender to stay at her home for a week while her husband was away. Davies even spoke to the mother about the extent of sexual abuse that he planned to inflict on the young child, alongside discussing the clothes she would wear. The paedophile was also said to have sent the parent a photograph of his sex toy collection, explaining how he would use them to carry out the abuse. Now, Davies has been handed an extended 20-year-jail sentence, made up of 14-and-a-half years custody and five-and-a-half years extended licence. A registered sex offender, he was jailed in 2016 for offences including attempting to meet a child, following sexual grooming and attempted sexual activity with a child under 16. Davies also breached the Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) five times between 2022 and 2023. And, in April last year Davies informed his offender manager he had a second mobile phone at his address and he needed help. Police visited his home on April 27, 2024 and recovered the mobile phone from a kitchen cupboard. Following an analysis, it was found to have contained 132 indecent images of children at category A - the most serious, 35 at category B and 77 at category C. Prosecutor Josh Daley told Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court: 'The images showed young girls, aged six to nine, being raped and in pain. He used 15 instant messaging services and he used usernames without informing the police.' While the defendant engaged in a chat on Kik, it was unclear whether she was a child or not. However, the most serious charge involved Davies making arrangements with the woman in Birmingham to rape her 12-year-old daughter. Mr Daley said: 'He sent a picture of his sex toy collection and discussed how he would use gags, restraints and a collar. He said, 'It is a fantasy of mine. I want somebody to give me a chance'. He also sent a category A image of a child aged between seven and nine.' Davies pleaded guilty to arranging the commission of a child sex offence (rape of a child under 13); attempted sexual communication with a child; distributing a class A indecent image of a child; three charges of making indecent images of children; and three charges of breaching a SHPO. Judge Graeme Smith said that, in his view, Davies was an 'undoubtedly dangerous' man, having 'discussed at length in disgustingly graphic detail what you intended to do to the woman's 12-year-old daughter'. He also added that there was additional degradation and humiliation intended to the victim through the use of various sex toys. Paul Cliff, mitigating, said it was Davies' openness by telling his offender manager about the phone which led to the convictions. He added that no physical abuse took place on the girl.
