| Red Rose Database
Croydon Child Sexual Abuser
In a disturbing case that has shocked the Croydon community, Umesh Kulasingham, a man with a dark history of online predatory behavior, has been sentenced to eight years in prison for sexually abusing a young girl he groomed over the internet. The case, which was heard at the Inner London Crown Court, revealed a pattern of calculated and deceitful actions carried out by Kulasingham, who used multiple aliases to conceal his true identity and intentions.
It was established that Kulasingham, aged 39 and residing in Croydon, first initiated contact with the victim in 2009, when she was only 10 years old. Over a period of time, he built a deceptive relationship with her through various online platforms, including Facebook, MSN, and Skype. His manipulative tactics included grooming the girl, convincing her to pose indecently for him over the internet, and subsequently sending her explicit images of himself. These actions marked a serious breach of trust and a grave violation of her innocence.
The court heard that after the initial activity ceased, Kulasingham re-established contact with the victim in August 2011 through her friend. During this renewed contact, he issued threats to the girl, warning that he would distribute pornographic images of her to her friends via the internet if she refused to meet him in person. Despite the threats, Kulasingham eventually met the girl and sexually assaulted her. His continued contact with her only intensified the severity of his offending, which was ultimately uncovered when her brother and sister discovered explicit text messages on her mobile phone.
Throughout the investigation, Kulasingham was found to have used several aliases, including Fiaz Khan, Arun Kula, and Don GT. His arrest was carried out by officers from the Metropolitan Police Service’s Operation Sapphire Complex Case Team. Despite being in custody, Kulasingham has refused to disclose the passwords to his encrypted computers, hindering the investigation further.
Following a trial in January, the court convicted Kulasingham on multiple counts. These included two charges of engaging in sexual activity with a girl aged between 13 and 15, two counts of grooming a girl under 13, and thirteen counts of possessing indecent cartoon images of children. He was also found guilty of one count of failing to provide passwords for encrypted devices, which obstructed the police investigation.
DC Sarah Garrick commented on the case, describing Kulasingham as a highly intelligent, cunning, and deceitful individual who concealed the true extent of his offending from his own family. She explained that he created Facebook accounts from his Croydon address under various aliases to contact and groom vulnerable young girls. Garrick emphasized that the police suspect Kulasingham may have contacted other females in similar ways, though they have yet to come forward. She highlighted that all of his interactions with the victim were conducted through online messaging, webcam sessions, and text messages, illustrating the calculated nature of his grooming.
Garrick further stated that interrogation of Kulasingham’s mobile phone and computer revealed that he was in contact with several other young girls who have not yet reported their experiences. She urged any potential victims or individuals who have been contacted by Kulasingham or others using similar methods to come forward and report their cases to the police. She concluded by warning that Kulasingham’s sentence reflects the devious and manipulative methods he employed for his own gain, and she expressed hope that more victims would find the courage to speak out and seek justice.
