Paedophile has prison sentence extended

SOLICITOR GENERAL STEPS IN TO REVIEW PUNISHMENT

- By CHRIS BALLINGER

THE Solicitor General has taken action to step in and extend the prison sentence of a sick Croydon paedophile.

Keith Edun encouraged another man to rape and sexually assault a baby as well as distributed indecent images of children.

Edun, 48, from Strathmore Road in West Croydon, was jailed in February for encouraging the rape and sexual assault of a baby, distribution of indecent images of children, two counts of making indecent images of children and perverting the course of justice.

An investigation was launched by Met Police detectives specialising in tackling the sexual abuse and exploitation of children in 2021, when officers were alerted to indecent images of children being posted on the social media app Kik.

The Kik account was linked to Edun’s home in Croydon and a warrant was executed in September 2021.
