WHAT A WICKED WORLD! BABYSITTER JAILED FOR 16 YEARS FOR PROVIDING THREE-YEAR-OLD TO PAEDOPHILE

Spread the love

A babysitter was
jailed for 16 years on Tuesday for giving a three-year-old boy to a known
paedophile who drugged and raped him as he slept. Aaron Hughes, who
was jailed for life for the sex attacks on the sedated toddler, filmed the
rapes on his mobile phone and was caught when police did a routine check on his
computer because they believed he had breached a court order by downloading
child pornography. The child was
provided to him at the home of Claire Semmens, from Roath, Cardiff, who was
regularly looking after boys aged between three and six.
Cardiff crown court
heard that Semmens was sexually attracted to Hughes’s lover, Hamish Morgan, and
that the three had become close friends. She was jailed for 16 years, barred
from working with children again, and must sign on the sex offenders register
for life after admitting two charges of causing or inciting a child to engage
in sexual activity and possessing indecent images.
Hughes, also of
Roath, admitted two charges of rape, possessing indecent images, and breaching
the terms of his sexual offences prevention order. The court heard
that both attacks were on the same three-year-old, but while Hughes claimed
they happened on the same night, police checked the videos and spotted the
little boy was wearing different pyjamas and that Hughes had a different ring
on his finger. Investigators also found computer images of two other boys
babysat by Semmens.

Hughes and Semmens
disappeared when they realised the images found on their computers would send
them to jail, pawning their jewellery and taking a train to Gatwick airport. Sentencing them,
Judge Phillip Richards said: “It almost defies belief that any human being
would do such a thing to such an innocent young child. Each of you are going to
spend a long time in prison before you see the light of day.”
