PAEDOPHILE WHO FILMED HIMSELF ABUSING CHILDREN IS JAILED FOR 18 YEARS
Connor Wright
A MIDDLESBROUGH man who subjected children to horrific sexual abuse, has been handed an extended prison sentence.
Connor Wright, 31, was caught after police raided his home and uncovered videos that Wright had filmed of himself sexually abusing children.
Teesside Crown Court has heard that Wright's tattoo was clearly visible in the footage.
On Friday, the court heard that Wright “normalised” his horrific abuse by showing his victims cartoon characters engaging in sex acts with each other.
He told one child - who he raped - that they would “go to prison” if they told anyone and what was happening “was their secret”.
Later, the child said they “wouldn't talk to the police lady” but wrote down some of what took place.
Wright pleaded guilty to 25 child sex offences at an earlier hearing including child rape; voyeurism — where he filmed a naked child; and causing a child to engage in sexual acts with him.
Shaun Dodds, prosecuting, went through the charges one by one, as Wright listened on video link from Holme House prison.
