Paedophile given 55 year jail term

A paedophile who filmed himself having sex with a Boston girl he met through an internet chatroom has been given jail terms totalling 55 years. Nathan Craigs 'groomed' several teenage targets during on-line conversations before convincing them to take part in often depraved acts, Lincoln Crown Court heard. Craigs, a 28-year-old car salesman, embarked on a 'sexual jamboree' after becoming hopelessly addicted to the internet following the break-up of his marriage. One of the schoolgirls he lured was a 14-year-old from who had sex with him live on the net while being filmed on a webcam. Craigs even suggested she move to London to begin work as a prostitute - and suggested a price-list for various sex acts. [...]

The Boston girl initially refused to help. William Harbage, prosecuting, told Lincoln Crown Court: "The girl said she was in love with him. It is quite clear that she was besotted." In Craigs' flat police found more than 20 videos of him having sex with young girls, as well as handcuffs, a whip and a vibrator.
