December 2014 Wirral paedophile paid for Filipino mums to abuse their children on webcam A Wirral paedophile pensioner who paid for Filipino mothers to abuse their children over webcam was jailed for four-and-a-half years. Pervert Bryan Stanley, 74, joined a seedy worldwide internet ring where he would pay a fixer to organise the vile sex shows. He chatted online as a mum sexually abused her 14-year-old daughter and urged her to do similar to her six-year-old son. Stanley was jailed for four-and-a-half years and will serve an extended three-year period of licence as he was branded a “serious risk” to children by judge Mark Brown. The judge told Liverpool Crown Court: “It beggars belief that anybody can conduct themselves in such an appalling way. “I have no doubt that the general public will be horrified to learn of your conduct. “It was exploitation of the worst kind. People living in the Philippines, living in poverty and in very difficult circumstances, are extremely vulnerable to this kind of exploitative behaviour. “You took advantage of that fact.” Stanley, of Smith Avenue, Birkenhead, was caught when police investigating the child sex ring in 2013 traced is internet IP address. On a laptop and computer were found 292 indecent images of young children, along with so-called chat logs from where he had been conversing while watching the webcams. In one, he told a 14-year-old girl that she was “very beautiful” and asked if she had a boyfriend. He watched on as she was abused by her mother. Judge Brown said: “I accept that the system was already up-and-running and you didn’t create the environment in which the individual was being paid for putting on the sex shows. “Nonetheless, you joined in – initially paying to watch adults having sex and then it clearly developed to wanting to watch adults sexually abuse children.” Stanley, who admitted eight counts of possession of indecent images and two of arranging or facilitating sexual activity with a child, left his own adult children “distraught and disgusted” by his behaviour, the court heard. Chris Williams, defending, told how his client had shown “real remorse and shame”. He said: “Mr Stanley sums up his behaviour in a letter to your honour when he says: ‘What I did was vile and disgusting”. “No-one can really argue with that.” Stanley was made subject to a sexual offences prevention order and will be barred from associating with children in the future. Judge Brown added: “You continue to deny having a sexual interest in children. That’s clearly not correct. I’m entirely satisfied that you do have a very keen interest in the abuse of children and you can only properly be described as a paedophile.”
