April 2016 Prolific paedophile jailed for child sex offences A prolific online groomer of children has been sentenced to eight years in prison. Gary Wiseman, 51, of Queens Way in St Neots, pleaded guilty to a number of sexual offences relating to young girls earlier this year. Last year police received information that Wiseman may have been in possession of indecent images of children, and on May 14, officers attended his home address and arrested him. He was interviewed at Thorpe Wood Police Station in Peterborough and admitted chatting sexually to children online and being in receipt of indecent images of children over a period spanning the last two to three years.  Officers from the High-Tec Crime Unit (HTCU) forensically examined the contents of Wiseman’s mobile phone which revealed a large amount of indecent images of children. Wiseman openly admitted to officers that he targeted children online and encouraged them to send sexual photos and videos to him, he then would forward some of these on to other men. In interview he said how he was “really very sorry to everyone that this has affected. I’m ashamed of myself, I should have stopped but curiosity just caused me to keep going back to them.” On January 21 this year he was charged with: Six counts of causing or inciting a child aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity One count of causing or inciting a child aged under 13 to engage in sexual activity One count of causing a child to watch a sexual act Two counts of distributing indecent images of children   One count making 229 indecent images of children. He pleaded guilty to the charges at Peterborough Crown Court on March 22. Today, Wiseman appeared at Huntingdon Crown Court and was sentenced to eight years in prison, and made subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).
