MOOSA KAYAT FROM BATLEY SENTENCED FOR TWISTED ONLINE SEX OFFENSES INVOLVING TEENAGERS AND ANIMAL ABUSE
In August 2020, a disturbing case emerged involving Moosa Kayat, a young man from Batley, who engaged in a series of heinous online sexual offenses targeting vulnerable teenage boys. The investigation revealed that Kayat, now aged 22, had orchestrated a campaign of manipulation, threats, and exploitation that spanned several years, causing significant emotional and psychological harm to his victims.Kayat’s criminal activities came to light after police uncovered his involvement in a disturbing pattern of online abuse. The case was described by investigators as painstaking, involving the analysis of thousands of pages of digital evidence, including over 5,000 pages downloaded from Kayat’s phone. The police’s diligent work was praised by the presiding judge, Judge Tom Bayliss QC, who emphasized the enduring trauma inflicted upon the victims and commended the officers for their careful handling of the case.
According to court proceedings, Kayat targeted four boys, all of whom were under the age of 16, living in different parts of the country. The victims were subjected to threats of exposure and blackmail, with Kayat demanding increasingly depraved images and videos. One of the victims, a 15-year-old boy, recounted how he initially believed Kayat to be a kind person who understood his struggles with his sexuality. The boy explained that they met through a website, where they exchanged messages and phone calls. Over time, Kayat convinced the boy to send sexual images of himself, gradually escalating his requests to include more graphic content and even asking the boy to include his face in the images.
Kayat’s manipulative tactics extended further when he invited the boy to meet in Leeds, ostensibly for sexual activity. However, the victim grew suspicious and ceased contact. Kayat responded by contacting him via Facebook, where he began issuing threats to expose the boy’s images to his friends unless he complied with his demands. Despite initial compliance, the requests soon turned more sinister, culminating in Kayat demanding images of the boy engaging in sexual acts with his pet cat. The victim refused these requests, but Kayat continued to threaten and intimidate him, even sending an image of the boy performing a sex act to one of his friends.
The case also revealed that Kayat had targeted a second victim, a 16-year-old boy, with whom he exchanged sexual images online. Kayat claimed to “own” the boy and demanded that he become his “slave,” insisting on more graphic videos and images. The second victim, overwhelmed by the abuse, felt suicidal and eventually confided in his mother about the ordeal.
Further victims were identified when Kayat posed online as a boy named Sam, obtaining a sexual image of one victim and threatening to share it with his friends. Another victim described feeling fragile and lacking self-worth due to the abuse he endured at Kayat’s hands.
Police investigations also uncovered over 100 indecent images of children on Kayat’s phone, including 22 classified as Category A, the most severe level of child exploitation material. Kayat pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including blackmail, attempting to cause a person to engage in sexual activity without consent, causing and inciting sexual activity with a child, distributing indecent images, and making indecent photographs.
The case took more than four years to reach court, largely due to the complexity of the evidence and the extensive investigation. Prosecutor Richard Woolfall highlighted that the investigation initially considered the possibility of up to 40 victims across different regions, underscoring the widespread nature of Kayat’s offending.
During sentencing, Judge Tom Bayliss QC emphasized the lasting impact of Kayat’s actions, stating, “Any injury done to the victims in a case like this is likely to be enduring. They felt shame, ever-present anxiety, and fear of exposure. It was designed to demean them and humiliate them. You gained sexual gratification from demeaning these boys and humiliating them.” The judge also expressed gratitude to the police officers involved, noting the importance of their careful and thorough work in bringing Kayat to justice.
Moosa Kayat, of Dennison Street, Batley, was ultimately sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to all charges. His actions have left a lasting scar on his victims, and the case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by online predators and the importance of vigilant law enforcement in protecting vulnerable individuals from exploitation.
