A paedophile who spent nearly £21,000 to set up Skype live streams of child abuse in the Philippines has been jailed
A paedophile who spent nearly £21,000 to set up Skype live streams of child abuse in the Philippines has been jailed. Bernard Grace, 72, was found by police with thousands of chat messages to women.
Rosalind Scott-Bell, prosecuting the case at Manchester Crown Court, said: "These women were endeavouring to make ends meet, to better themselves and the lives of their children in relation to education. In another exchange, a woman asked if he would pay her rent. The 72-year-old wanted a picture of her nine-year-old daughter in return and sent two payments totalling £35.
He bombarded one woman with up to 5,000 messages, asking her to send indecent images of her child, with a number of inappropriate photos found on his computer. NCA officials were granted access to his bank account. Simon Blakeborough, defending, said his client had a number of health conditions. "There is a suggestion he will not survive after a period of incarceration. He lives an isolated life away from friends and family."
