The Offender Database reported that Dean Juric, a Sunderland Paedophile Sex Offender and former head teacher, has admitted to creating and disseminating indecent AI-generated photographs of minors, including teenage ladies in school uniforms.
Dean Juric, the head of St Robert of Newminster School in Washington, Sunderland, at the time of his January arrest, created “pseudo” photos and movies depicting girls as young as 12 in sexual postures, as shown at North Tyneside Magistrates’ Court.
The court was informed that he was apprehended by an undercover officer masquerading as a 58-year-old grandfather, accompanied by a seven-year-old step-granddaughter.
The prosecution asserted that his role as a headteacher constituted an “aggravating factor.”
Dean Juric corresponded with the undercover police officer and others via the Kik chat application.
The court was informed that he transmitted to the investigator an AI-generated image of a teenage girl in a school uniform, estimated to be around 15 years old, along with further photographs of girls estimated to be 12 and 13 years old.
Dean Juric transmitted to the undercover detective videos of adolescent females, classified by the court as Category A, representing the most egregious type of child sexual abuse imagery, including rape and/or torture.
There was no indication that any of the children depicted in the photos were students at his secondary school or resembled any child enrolled there.
Dean Juric was apprehended on 17 January and discovered to possess 380 illicit photographs, including 31 Category A images.
Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust, which oversees St Robert of Newminster School, stated that it “immediately suspended” Dean Juric upon discovering that he was under police investigation, and he is no longer employed at the school or by the trust.
Dean Juric confessed to three charges of producing “pseudo” indecent images of minors and one charge of disseminating indecent images of minors.
He is scheduled to be sentenced at Newcastle Crown Court on 22 December.
