February 2015 Paedophile DJ jailed for grooming 11-year-old girl A former children’s disco DJ who groomed an 11-year-old girl on the internet has been jailed for four years. Kelvin Wilkinson (36), of Park Road, Narborough, lost is DJ job in 2009 when he was jailed for three years for possessing child abuse images and inciting a youngster to commit a sexual act. But two years after his release from prison he made contact with a girl he had seen videos of online. Leicester Crown Court heard on Friday that the girl had posted YouTube videos of herself dancing, which Wilkinson commented on, offering encouragement. But after they began communicating via email he started asking her what she wore under her onesie and other, more sexual, questions. James Varley, prosecuting, said: “Kelvin Wilkinson had been searching the internet for videos of girls dancing and doing the splits and things like that. “To begin with he’s encouraging her. It’s sophisticated and well-practiced grooming behaviour.” He said that when the chat turned to sexual acts the girl replied: “I’m 11, I’ve no idea what that means,” and went to tell her mum. Wilkinson was arrested and child porn videos and pictures were found on his computer. He later pleaded guilty to three charges of making child abuse images and one charge of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. Philip Gibbs, mitigating, told the court: “This is someone full of self-loathing who has battled against the urges your honour has heard about. “When confronted by the police he makes admissions.” Judge Robert Brown said the case had “worrying” features. He told Wilkinson: “You pose a high risk of causing serious harm to female children. “It’s clear you’re not someone who’s got a mental illness and you’ve not been sexually abused yourself as a child or anything like that. “What’s worrying is you were before the court for behaviour that’s directly similar in 2009. “You’re back having done the same thing again.” Because of the risk Wilkinson poses to the public he will serve an extended time on licence after his release from prison, remaining under the eye of the probation service until 2022. He will also remain on the sexual offenders register for life and is banned from contacting anyone under 16 or deleting his internet browser history.
