January 2015 Pervert who recorded schoolgirl sex act has jail term cut A PERVERT who recorded sordid footage of a schoolgirl while grooming her online has had his jail term cut on appeal. Liam Alexander Dorr, 30, posed as a teenager while filming a girl doing a sex act online and downloaded vile videos and images of children. Dorr, of Plas Edwards, Tywyn, Gwynedd, was jailed for six years at Mold Crown Court, last July. He admitted two counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, and numerous counts relating to indecent images of children. But three senior judges at London’s Criminal Appeal Court today upheld a sentence challenge by Dorr, saying his jail term was too harsh, and cutting it to five years. Mr Justice Turner said Dorr was in his mid 20s when he posed as an 18-year-old called “Tom”. He befriended a 15-year-old girl online and convinced her to send him photographs of herself. Pretending his own web cam was broken, Dorr persuaded the girl to perform a sex act in front of her own web cam and recorded it using his computer. He then broke off all contact with her. Two years later, the girl learned that Dorr had uploaded naked pictures of her onto a website, where he’d also created a number of profiles of young girls. Police tracked down Dorr using a mobile phone number he’d given to the girl. They discovered videos and chatlogs detailing Dorr’s sexualised contact with young girls online over several years. There were also scores of images of young girls as well as pornography featuring a 13-year-old. As well as the two incitement charges, Dorr admitted 10 counts of making, possessing and distributing indecent images of children. He said he was “ashamed and embarassed” by his actions and vowed to address his offending behaviour, said Mr Justice Turner. On appeal, Dorr’s lawyers argued that his punishment was far too tough, given his clear remorse. Mr Justice Turner, sitting with Lord Justice Bean and Mr Justice Irwin, agreed that too high a “starting point” had been set when passing sentence. July 2014 Fake ‘teen’ pervert jailed for six years A pervert who befriended young schoolgirls over the internet by pretending to be a teen himself has been jailed for six years. Liam Dorr, 29, groomed girls and entered into intimate online relationships with them – flattering and complementing them until they agreed to send their photographs to him, some in sexual poses. Dorr used a false identity and persuaded a schoolgirl to speak to him over a webcam – but said his camera was not working so she could not see him. He secretly recorded her indulging in a sex act and later posted a video and photograph of her on a salacious web site. Mold Crown Court heard how two years later, the girl was approached by a fellow school pupil who said he had seen the photograph on the web. The victim, now 18, had the courage to report the matter to the police to prevent it happening to other girls. Police tracked him down through an old mobile phone number. When they examined his computer at his home at Plas Edwards, Tywyn, near Aberystwyth, they found he had been chatting and filming other girls as well for seven years. Officers discovered images of up to 100 girls. More than 300 movies and six indecent photographs of girls were found. Analysis of web chats showed he had been chatting to girls for many hours. Dorr admitted 12 charges of making, possessing and distributing indecent images of children, and two of inciting children to engage in sexual activity over the internet. He was placed on the sex offenders register for life and made the subject of an indefinite sexual offences prevention order. Jonathan Austin, prosecuting, said the girl told police that in 2009, when she was 15, she began communicating with a 15 year-old boy called Tom via the Bebo website. That turned out to be a fictitious online persona created by Dorr, then aged 25. They exchanged messages via MSM and would chat most evenings, for hours at a time. She first agreed to send a photograph of herself fully clothed, then in her underwear. Dorr sent her a photo of an unknown bare chested young man. In total, she sent him 13 photographs. He then persuaded her to go on webcam and persuaded her to indulge in a sex act on line. Having got what he wanted, he stopped communicating with her. Mr Austin said: “She had no idea she had been filmed. She thought it was something private between her and ‘Tom’ and felt thoroughly deceived and exploited.” Oliver King, defending, said Dorr accepted full responsibility for the dreadful offences, committed when he spent hours alone in his bedroom when he felt his mother and sister were arguing. He was described as something of a social recluse who did not mix well. Jailing him, Judge Philip Hughes said Dorr had indulged in the offences for for his own lustful purposes. It had been “a gross abuse of young children by a devious, deceitful criminal”.
