JAMIE BOURNE FROM NORMANTON CAUGHT IN DERBY PAEDOPHILE STING
| Red Rose Database
Normanton Child Sexual Abuser
In a disturbing case that unfolded in Derby, Jamie Bourne, a 30-year-old man from Normanton, found himself at the center of a serious criminal investigation involving online predatory behavior directed towards a young girl. The incident came to light after Bourne engaged in a series of inappropriate communications with an individual he believed to be an 11-year-old girl, whom he had befriended through Facebook.
According to court proceedings at Derby Crown Court, Bourne sent explicit photographs of his private parts to the girl, who was actually an undercover member of a vigilante group posing as a minor. The court heard that Bourne also shared images of a woman performing a sex act and claimed he could teach her how to do the same on him. His messages revealed a disturbing pattern of grooming behavior, with Bourne asking if she had any friends her age he could talk to online. When she told him her webcam was broken, he dismissed her callously, calling her “a time waster.”
Despite the apparent lack of a real victim, Bourne’s actions demonstrated a clear intent to exploit a minor. He had arranged to meet the girl in Derby, where he believed she would be, but was instead confronted by self-styled paedophile hunters who had set up the sting. The hunters called the police, leading to Bourne’s arrest at the scene.
During the court hearing, Judge Julie Warburton sentenced Bourne to 16 months in prison, suspended for two years. The judge emphasized the gravity of his actions, stating, “There was no victim but you were not to know that. You believed you were sending images to an 11-year-old girl. It was absolutely clear from her profile how old she was and it was extremely graphic material that you sent. You asked to contact her through video call and when she told you her camera was broken, you called her ‘a time-waster.’ You then asked her to introduce you to a friend of a similar age. It’s an appalling catalogue of affairs. You ought to be thoroughly ashamed of yourself and I hope that you are.”
Prosecutor Sarah Allen detailed that the offending occurred over a few days, from October 30 to November 3, 2018. She explained that the vigilante group had created a Facebook profile for “Madison,” claiming she was 11 years old. Bourne’s messages quickly turned sexualized, with him sending links to pornographic websites and images of his private parts taken inside his pyjamas. He also sent an image of himself touching his genitals.
Over the following days, Bourne continued to communicate with “Madison,” asking if she was interested in performing a sex act. He sent her images of adults engaged in sexual activity and inquired whether she had friends of her age. The conversation then shifted towards a potential meeting in Derby, where she was visiting her grandmother. Bourne suggested they could go for a burger and sent her an image of a woman performing a sex act, claiming he could teach her how to do it.
On November 3, Bourne traveled to the location he believed “Madison” would meet him. However, he was met by paedophile hunters who had set up the operation. The hunters called the police, leading to his immediate arrest. Bourne later pleaded guilty to charges of attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and attempting to incite a child to watch a sex act.
It was noted that Bourne had no previous convictions. As part of his sentence, he was given a 16-month jail term, suspended for two years. Additionally, he is required to attend 30 rehabilitation sessions with the probation service. He was also issued a five-year sexual harm prevention order and placed on the sex offenders’ register for five years, reflecting the serious nature of his offenses.
