Underage Wannabe Models Stripped And Performed Webcam Sex Acts For Bogus Talent Agent

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."
