An internet child porn pervert, who used treats such as crisps and chocolate to abduct five young boys - aged between four and ten years-old – abusing two of them in a concrete maintenance room near his flat was locked-up for six years today.
Martyn Thomas Littell, 40, got the children to strip naked while he watched at Grombridge Court, Hogarth Crescent, Croydon then subjected two boys, aged 8 and 10, to sexual assaults in nearby Ringstead Court.
Judge Jeremy Gold QC told the defendant that the Croydon Crown Court jury “saw through” his lies during the trial and and found him guilty of: “a prolonged period of grooming.”
Littell, of Langley Way, West Wickham was convicted of two counts of child abduction on or before October 12, 2012, plus two counts of sexually assaulting each boy and one count of sexual activity with a child in relation to the eight year-old.
He was also found guilty of nine counts of making indecent videos of children from material he downloaded from the internet and one count of possessing indecent still images of children.
The prosecutor told the jury: “This case concerns the grooming and serious sexual assault of young boys and the making of indecent movies and possessing indecent photos of children.
“All five attended his flat uninvited and this was the start of the grooming of the children by Mr. Littell for his sexual gratification.
“He did not have the authority to have these five boys within his flat and he did not have their parents' consent.
“He induced them to remain by offering crisps and chocolate if they accompanied him to another room, where he asked them to strip naked while he watched.
“The prosecution say Mr. Littell asked two of the boys to go to a maintenance room under a block of flats, where there are concrete rooms, and in that room he touched each boy.”
The jury heard the boys were groped intimately and the defendant performed a sex act on the younger one.
