Swindon man organized to abuse children online

Parker went to great lengths to buy a Barbie toy car as a gift for the six-year-old, who officers located when he was arrested.

Investigator Beccy Scott, from the Internet Child Exploitation Team (CIET), said she welcomed Parker’s guilty plea as he “poses a significant risk to children”.

“I have no doubt that Parker had every intention of committing these depraved crimes against vulnerable children,” she said.

“Here is a man with a clear sexual preoccupation with pre-pubescent children who purposefully used the Internet to seek out children or adults with access to children.”

“If you are concerned about your own Internet use or inappropriate thoughts or behavior towards children, please seek help from support agencies like the Lucy Faithful Foundation before you become our next knock on the door.”
