Bizarre! East London paedo caught with child sex dolls, 40 indecent images
Quick Read
Under pressure for answers however, Clarke confessed a sexual interest in uniforms and schoolchildren. He pleaded guilty to all the offences at Barkingside Magistrates Court on June 18.
Border Force officers at the London Stansted Airport were shell-shocked upon discovering a naked ‘child’ inside a parcel.
Inside the package addressed to Mr Wesley Clarke of Chelmsford Avenue in Romford, there was a sex doll, so childlike in its appearance that even Clarke’s jaw dropped when he saw it for the first time, MyLondon Magazine reports.
When days after investigative police officers swarmed Clarke’s home, they reportedly discovered two more sex dolls.
According to Detective Constable Kerry Smith, one was dressed in a black skirt and appeared 13-year-old, while the other was undressed and looked about 15.
Officers also found four plastic replacement eyes, two skirts sized four-to-five-year-old, and a dress and t-shirt labelled for small children.
Under questioning at Romford Police Station, Clarke, 43, admitted purchasing the imported sex doll for around £700 from a company called ‘Lovedolls’, but claimed it only appeared like a child because he was trying to save money.
“It was cheaper that he selected 4ft11in tall and the smallest breasts,” prosecutor Margaret Anucha told the Old Bailey on Wednesday (August 13), recalling what Clarke had claimed in his interrogation.
“He did not select for the doll to have a teenage appearance. He said the webpage only showed one photo of the doll dressed and laying on a bed. He did not see the final product before it was sent.”
Clarke repeatedly denied knowing the doll would look like a child, and claimed the children’s clothing at his home were the only items small enough to fit.
Under pressure for answers however, Clarke confessed a sexual interest in uniforms and schoolchildren. He pleaded guilty to all the offences at Barkingside Magistrates Court on June 18.
Out of three laptops, three phones, a hard drive, USB stick and an iPad found in his home, only one device was clean of illegal images, according to police.
The 43-year-old Clarke would later demand his work phone back, telling police: “I don’t mix business with pleasure.”
The devices contained more than 17,000 prohibited cartoons of children, forty indecent images in Category A (the worst penetrative child sexual abuse imagery), and 52 extreme porn images involving the abuse of animals, findings revealed.
