A sick Pontefract paedophile sent disgusting photos of himself to an 11-year-old girl on a phone that he failed to tell police he was using.
It was discovered in October last year that convicted sex offender Edwin Swallow had targeted the youngster, encouraging her to send sexually explicit photos of herself – and sending photos of his genitalia over a messaging app. The 55-year-old pervert had been told he must inform the police of any mobile phone he was using, having previously been found guilty of an offence involving indecent images of children.
“When the defendant was arrested, a neighbour confirmed that the defendant did have a mobile phone.” The court heard that Swallow has since expressed remorse and recognises his long history of offending. Michael Collins, for the defence, said: “His personal circumstances are miserable and depressing. He has two children with whom he has no contact. He has no significant relationship. He lives alone and is in debt. “If there’s any brightness, it’s because he had a job.
