May 2006 Re-offending serial paedophile jailed for abusing friends children A pervert befriended by a family has been jailed after he sexually abused their children. Now Paul Fyfield could spend the rest of his life behind bars after a judge ruled that he was such a risk to the public he should be locked up indefinitely. Judge Gareth Cowling told Fyfield: “You admit to be unable to control your sexual urges. You are a danger to children, regardless of age group” The court heard that two victims were five-year-old girls of which one was repeatedly abused over a four year period. Another child was just a toddler. He was 18-months old. The court was also told that Fyfield had threatened to rape a fourth child – A 6-month old baby girl When police officers seized Fyfield’s computer, they found more than 43,000 images and videos of child sexual abuse, which he had amassed over a period of just a few months. The father of the three victims, of which included a baby, said: “Prison is the best place for him” The father who cannot be named for legal reasons added: “In prison he is unable to damage other children and ruin peoples lives” “It is a great weight off our shoulders and hopefully Fyfield will never walk the streets again” FyField, a 46-year-old waste operative from Leigh Park, admitted: Four counts of indecent assault on children 10 counts of making indecent images of children Two counts of possessing indecent images of children One count of taking indecent images of children He was caught when the mother of one of the victims – A young girl – walked in on him indecently assaulting her. After police had been alerted, they discovered the images on his computer, which included sexual footage of the the families baby, which he had taken himself. Fyfield admitted indecently assaulting the other children, as well as admitting making, taking and possession of child sexual abuse images. Portsmouth Crown court heard that he was an already convicted sex offender who had offences dating back to the 1980’s. He had then lured a 14-year-old boy into the woods before he sexually assaulted him. Fyfield had hidden his history of offending to those around him.
