A judge characterised James Brooking, the Ramsey Paedophile’s, sexual attempts towards an individual he believed to be a 14-year-old boy as “gratuitous self-indulgence.”
On July 3, James Brooking, 30, was conversing with an undercover officer on the social media platform Fabguys when he solicited the decoy’s mobile phone number.
After exchanging numbers, James Brooking solicited indecent photographs from the ‘boy’ and sexualised the chat.
James Brooking expressed a desire to see the ‘kid’ in his school uniform, to arrange a meeting, and even transmitted indecent photographs of himself.
The interaction between Brooking and the undercover officer concluded on 10 July, and James Brooking was apprehended on 14 July at a location where he was in the presence of a child he had not disclosed to the authorities.
In 2014, James Brooking was convicted of child sexual offences and mandated to inform the police of any new internet usernames, as well as to notify them whenever he resided at a place for 12 hours or more where a kid was present.
James Brooking neglected to inform the cops of any of this.
On Friday, October 24, at Cambridge Crown Court, James Brooking, residing on Upwood Road, Ramsey, was sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to attempted sexual communication with a child, causing a child to observe an image of sexual activity, arranging and facilitating the commission of a child sex offence, and four counts of failing to comply with sex offender registration notification requirements.
