| Sarang: "Dangerous Sexual Predator" |
A
young student posed as a modelling agent and held webcam 'auditions'
in which underage girls were urged to strip and perform sex acts on
themselves.
Mohammed
Sarang, 19, of Pembroke Road, Wembley pleaded guilty to inciting a
child under 16 year-old to engage in sexual activity, taking indecent
photographs of a child under the age of 16 and causing or inciting
child pornography.
At
Harrow Crown Court he was given a two-year suspended sentence, a
supervision order for two years, a five-year Sexual Offences
Prevention Order and was ordered to attend a 60-day training
programme yesterday.
Sarang
remotely hacked into the Facebook account of one of his victims'
friends.
He
took over her identity and created a fraudulent account in the name
of a 'Nicola Hay' - pretending to be a modelling agent.
Using
this alias, Sarang befriended several young girls on social media
sites.
He
convinced them he could find them modelling jobs and in order to
check out their suitability, would offer them a webcam audition,
during which he would ask them to undress and perform sexual acts.
Sarang's
identity was uncovered when the mother of one of his victims became
concerned when she discovered an online conversation her daughter was
having with someone called "Nicola" and contacted police.
Following
a joint investigation between the Met and Greater Manchester Police,
officers arrested Sarang after carrying out a search of his home
address in Wembley, where they found computers with online
conversations between him and his victim.
Detective
Sergeant Simon Filer of the Sexual Offences Exploitation and Child
Abuse Command said: "Sarang was using a number of online aliases
in order to exploit impressionable young girls into thinking they
could become models.
“Once
gaining their trust, he would incite them into performing sexual acts
for his own gratification. He is a dangerous sexual predator.
"I
believe there may be many more people who Sarang has befriended and
abused through social media sites. I would ask them to contact me via
101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
