A pervert who drove a teenage girl he met online 200 miles to his home in County Durham had filmed her in the shower when she was 15, a court heard.<\/p>\n
Police went to Philip Olivers house in Bowburn, Co Durham, to find a 16-year-old girl who was missing from home.<\/p>\n
The 40-year-old claimed their relationship was friendship rather than sexual but evidence seized from his computers proved otherwise, Newcastle Crown Court heard.<\/p>\n
Officers discovered a video of the girl, taken when she was 15 years old, in which she was having a shower as Olivers reflection could be seen in the mirror filming her.<\/p>\n
The former IT specialist could be heard encouraging the girl to touch herself intimately and said, No judge will take you away from me.<\/p>\n
A search of six electronic devices revealed a folder with the teenagers name, containing other indecent images.<\/p>\n
Officers also found messages between them showing he had sent her pornographic images, the court heard.<\/p>\n
And they discovered 491 Category A indecent still images, and 24 moving images, across six different devices, with some of children as young as two years old.<\/p>\n
Oliver has now been jailed for almost three years after pleading guilty to inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, three counts of making an indecent image of a child, one each of possessing a prohibited image of a child and possessing extreme pornography, and one of distributing an indecent photo of a child.<\/p>\n
In mitigation, David Lamb said that when Oliver first met the girl on an adult chatroom, he initially thought she was 18 years old.<\/p>\n
Mr Lamb told the court Oliver suffers from mental health issues and had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n
Sentencing Oliver, Judge Ray Singh told him, You made arrangements to collect her and take her to your home in Bowburn - a significant distance.<\/p>\n
She was found at your home address. You told police you had had previous communication with her and she seemed to be having a difficult time at home and didnt want to return home, so you collected her.<\/p>\n
You confirmed to police you knew her age and used the words shes now turned 16.<\/p>\n
You have described the relationship as friendship rather than sexual, but that was incorrect.<\/p>\n
Judge Singh said conversation between Oliver and the girl in the video implied they had had intercourse, but added, I dont sentence you on that basis.<\/p>\n
He told Oliver: You knew what you were doing was wrong. You said, no judge will take you away from me, confirm your age is 16. You were aware she was 15.<\/p>\n
On the indecent images, the judge said: These are not victimless crimes - children are distressed in these images.<\/p>\n
The hunger and appetite from people like you fuels that trade.<\/p>\n
It is wrong to describe it as pornography - it is child sexual abuse.<\/p>\n
Oliver, of Bowburn, was jailed for 32 months and made the subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for 10 years.<\/p>\n
