THOMAS BAKER CAUGHT IN DERBY: NET PERVERT'S SHOCKING GROOMING PLOT EXPOSED
In June 2008, a disturbing case unfolded in Derby involving a man named Thomas Baker, who was caught attempting to groom underage girls through online communication. The incident came to light when a vigilant father, concerned about his 12-year-old daughter and her 15-year-old friend, decided to review the chat logs on his family computer after suspecting inappropriate activity.What he discovered was deeply troubling. Posing as a teenage boy, Baker had engaged in seemingly innocent conversations with the two young girls via the popular chat platform MSN. However, as the logs were scrutinized more closely, it became evident that Baker's intentions were far from innocent. The court heard that Baker had been asking the girls to remove their clothing, a clear indication of his grooming intentions.
Thomas Baker, aged 44, had a prior history of internet-related offenses. It was revealed during the court proceedings that he had previously been cautioned by police after engaging in sexual activity with a 14-year-old girl he had met online. This history underscored the seriousness of his actions and the potential risk he posed to vulnerable minors.
In sentencing, Baker was handed a three-year community order, which involves supervised activities and restrictions aimed at preventing further offending. Additionally, he was subject to a five-year sexual offences prevention order, designed to monitor and restrict his online and offline behavior to protect the public.
Following the sentencing, the father expressed his concerns about Baker's potential to re-offend, stating, “I think he will re-offend and get sent down.” His comments reflect the ongoing fears within the community about individuals who exploit the internet to target young and impressionable children.
