The 'unprecedented scale' of Nicholas Moxham's crimes 'truly shocked' police, an officer says.
The "unprecedented scale" of a "depraved" sex offender's crimes left police disturbed, one of the investigating officers has said.
Det Sgt Lee Attenborough said a raid of his home uncovered "huge catalogues of covertly recorded sexual material" which was so large, it took officers years to identify the women who were in the videos.Greater Manchester Police have since revealed Moxham had earlier admitted a host of further offences, including sexual assault of a child under 13, making and taking indecent photographs of children, possessing extreme pornography and keeping a brothel used for prostitution.
He said workers at charities supporting sex workers had also raised concerns about Moxham, who was "very well known" to their clients and had often been seen "loitering" by homeless shelters. They also found a myriad of hard drives, storage devices and covert filming equipment, such as pen and "spyhole" cameras.He said the investigation team then had to watch hours of "very disturbing material"."He treated his victims like a possession, like something that he owned, and arranged to sexually exploit them for his own sexual perversions."
"He showed absolutely no regard for any of his victims, some of whom won’t even know they were targeted due to the calculated and covert methods he used to take advantage," he said."Moxham is a controlling and predatory sex offender who thought he was untouchable."
