In 2026, the Offender Register reported that Christopher Sanders, a Hinckley PAEDOPHILE, who urged child sexual abuse facilitators to make their victims “cry”, has been sentenced as a result of a National Crime Agency investigation.
In July 2023, the National Crime Agency (NCA) initiated an inquiry into Christopher Sanders, 50, of Hinckley, Leicestershire, following intelligence from international partners regarding a UK individual who was a frequent purchaser of live-streaming content.
Sanders utilised the online communication platform Skype to communicate with five facilitators in the Philippines who were either known, had been previously apprehended, or were suspected of inciting the abuse of children from August 2017 to February 2019.
Sanders would repeatedly enquire whether the user was “young” when initiating conversations. After recognising them as facilitators, he would enquire about their access to children, stating that he could provide payment in the form of “tips” through legitimate adult streaming websites.
Sanders would repeatedly request that victims be physically abused, in some cases even being made to “cry” when requesting abuse material.
Sanders would verbally insult the facilitators if the content were not provided promptly or to his satisfaction.
Sanders’ Skype account information was analysed by NCA investigators, which enabled them to locate him. This comprised links to 22 PayPal accounts, email addresses, his home address, and mobile number.
Sanders was apprehended in April 2024. Several electronic devices, including some that contained 20 images of categories A and C, extreme pornography, and evidence of his chat activity, were seized by officers during a search of his residence.
In February 2026, Sanders entered a guilty plea to all charges at Leicester Crown Court.
Today [Tuesday, July 7], he was sentenced to 32 months’ imprisonment in the same court. Additionally, he has been issued a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) and will be included in the Sex Offender’s Register for the duration of his life.
