An American babysitter made videos about herself abusing a small British child to send to her pedophile friend, a court in Great Britain found out.
Paige Poole – who moved to London in 2018 to marry an Englishman – was heard laughing in some videos while abusing a one-year-old child, DevonLive said.
She then sent videos and details about the abuse to WhatsApp to her married boyfriend, her father, Ross Kingsland, 44, who called her “The Dark Angel” and wrote, “You make my black heart so happy,” she heard. the court on Tuesday.
Poole, 28, pleaded guilty in Exeter Crown Court to a number of disturbing crimes – including 11 sexual assaults and taking and distributing indecent photos of a child, DevonLive said.
She and Kingsland also admitted to conspiring to rape another child.
Poole was sentenced to 17 years, the last four of which could be served in the community if she complied with court rules while in prison.
Kingsland was sentenced to 15 years, including the chance of the last four years in the community, after pleading guilty to several offenses, including assistance and incitement to child sexual abuse and conspiracy to assault a child.
Judge David Evans called them “a real meeting of evil minds.”
“The truth of the matter is that each of you is a corrupt moral pedophile and it has been the great misfortune of others that you have found each other,” he said, according to DevonLive.
“You have deliberately and together caused the most terrible suffering to a good number of people. You have destroyed the lives of the individuals and families involved, “Evans said.
The couple were shot dead last summer when Kingsland was arrested after trying to negotiate to meet and abuse two children, ages 8 and 12, with someone who was actually an undercover officer, the court found.
During the exchange, Kingsland – which has a previous conviction for revealing two 12-year-old girls – shared a video of a woman abusing a child, DevonLive said.
Following his arrest, videos of Poole’s abuse were found on their phones.
“Kingsland and Poole are two very dangerous individuals who abused a child and brought misfortune to their families,” Detective Investigating Officer Si Costin told DevonLive.
“The only satisfaction we can get is that the two criminals will be in prison for a long time and they can’t hurt anyone.”
Reports did not specify where Poole originally came from, and the UK police force did not immediately respond to requests for elaboration.
