A registered Radford Paedophile sex offender, Bineet Bhanji, exploited a teenage lad online before engaging in sexual intercourse with him.
Bineet Bhanji was acutely aware that his victim was a minor when he initiated communication with him.
Unfazed by this, the 31-year-old participated in sexually explicit discussions with the child over the course of several weeks.
This ultimately resulted in the paedophile convincing his victim to meet him for sexual purposes in February of this year.
Bineet Bhanji, having cultivated the boy through online chatrooms, subsequently sexually assaulted him at a location in Nottingham.
Bineet Bhanji subsequently purchased a cell phone for the boy, enabling them to maintain communication and arrange meetings without his family’s knowledge.
The predator’s efforts to maintain contact with his victim were uncovered the next day when the child’s mother discovered his clandestine phone.
Upon discovering the contents, she contacted the police, who successfully identified Bineet Bhanji as the perpetrator and apprehended him that same day.
Bineet Bhanji perpetrated his offences while subject to an active sexual harm prevention order due to prior sexual conversations with minors.
Despite first refuting any awareness of the events, the evidence against him ultimately compelled Bineet Bhanji to confess to his actions.
He admitted guilt to two charges of participating in sexual acts with a minor, meeting a minor after grooming, and engaging in sexual correspondence with a child.
Bineet Bhanji, residing on Radford Boulevard, Radford, also confessed to producing obscene images of minors and two violations of a sexual harm prevention order.
On Friday, September 19, he appeared at Nottingham Crown Court, where he received an extended jail term of 12 years and three months.
Bineet Bhanji received a sentence of seven and a half years in prison, followed by four years and nine months on licence.
Judge Stuart Rafferty issued an indefinite sexual harm prevention order against Bineet Bhanji, deeming him “highly dangerous” and “a risk to all children.”
