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."

Ex-Bank Worker Slashed Throat Of Topless Masseuse He Fell For

Knife: Amish Kansagra
A bank worker, who quit his job after falling in love for the first time with a topless masseuse and her "sensual massages" tried to kill her by slashing her throat during a jealous knife rage, a court heard today.

Amish Kansagra, 28, opened a new massage parlour with Polish girlfriend Anna Imporowicz, 35, which offered "hand relief" to customers, but he was aware an ex in her native Warsaw was still pursuing her.

"He had been a client of Anna's, who was working as a masseuse, and a personal and professional relationship developed," explained prosecutor Mr. Julian Jones.

Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court was told Kansagra had a knife on him when he arrived with Anna at their home at in Clitherow Road, Brentford on June 22 after a row the day before.

Mr. Jones said: "She saw Amish with the same knife in his hand and he shut the kitchen window and put the knife to her throat and said: 'You've made the wrong decision. You will die today.'

"He was trying to stab her neck and she felt him cut her neck and and she saw her blood and fell to the floor saying: 'I love you. Don't do this.'
"Sensual Massage": Anna Imporowicz

"She described him as having gritted teeth and eyes: 'Like the devil' and he cut her neck again, harder and deeper, and used the tip of the knife to cut her gum."

Anna tried to flee out of the front door, but was pulled back by the defendant. "He still had the knife in one hand and the other hand around her neck and stabbed her in the side.

"She escaped via a window and while she had one leg out Amish tried to stab her everywhere," added Mr. Jones.

Luckily a retired nurse came to her aid and as Kansagra fled the bloody scene he told passers-by Anna had inflicted the injuries on herself.

"The prosecution say this was a clear cut case of attempted murder, an intention to kill."

The defendant slept rough and travelled to Manchester and back, eventually giving himself up at Shoreditch Police Station, initially claiming he remembered nothing due to a three-day vodka binge.

"He said she was the first person he had ever loved and that there was something inside him. He recalled stabbing Anna in the neck and seeing the blood and confirmed he was not acting in self-defence."

The jury were told they began dating when Kansagra became a regular client of Anna's, who massaged her naked customers while either topless or wearing skimpy underwear.

Arriving At Court: Anna 
He quit his bank job and opened a massage parlour with her in South Ealing Road, but their "happy relationship" ended the day before the stabbing after a man smiled at Anna at a Holborn salsa club.

"When they got home he was shouting that Anna was a whore and Amish grabbed her phone and laptop and destroyed them."

Kansagra is accused of shoving her against a fridge and the stairs before leaving and it is suggested he posted a skimpy-clothed image of her on Facebook with the caption: "I'm a prostitute and proud of it."

They agreed to meet the next day, but Kansagra had already armed himself with a "big knife" he took from the massage parlour.

The defendant revealed his jealousy during a party the previous new year's eve and caused a scene when a guest became too friendly with Anna.

"A guy dropped a cocktail stick down her cleavage and later squeezed her bottom and Amish started swearing and scratched the man's nose," said Mr. Jones.

Anna told the jury they met through her work. "It was sensual massage and the masseuse would maybe be in her underwear or without a bra and the client would be without their underwear.

"It ends with hand relief," she added, insisting sexual intercourse would not take place.

Kansagra has pleaded not guilty to one count of attempted murder and two counts of assault, but has already admitted causing criminal damage, possessing a bladed article and inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent.

Angry Ex's Internet Campaign Lands Her In Court

Mary Spencer
An woman, who launched an internet campaign against her ex-husband and turned up at a stranger's address, accusing the occupant of holding children hostage inside, received a suspended prison sentence yesterday.

Mary Anne Spencer, 48, of Oxford Road, Abingdon wrongly claimed Dennis Nissen was a paedophile and posted fake international arrest warrants for him online before showing up at the address she believed he still occupied.

She pleaded guilty to harassment between March 1, 2013 and August 12, last year in that she posted internet claims Mr. Nissen was a paedophile and attended the address of Siobhan Boucher, also posting claims children were captive inside.

Wimbledon Magistrates Court sentenced her to six weeks imprisonment, suspended for twelve months and ordered her to complete a sixteen-day structured activity for women course.

A restraining order was also made prohibiting Spencer contacting Mr. Nissen and Ms Boucher and posting information about them on the internet. She was also ordered to pay £85 costs and an £80 victim surcharge.

Prosecutor Mr. Nicholas Earl-Quarcoo told the court: “Mr. Nissen's ex-wife used facebook to make malicious comments about her ex-husband and a number of arrest warrants appeared that later turned out to be fake.

Interpol had to be contacted and it was confirmed Mr. Nissen was not on a list of suspects and police also received a number of calls alleging he was guilty of child abduction and a member of a paedophile ring.

A blog controlled by Spencer appeared on the internet and made various malicious allegations against Mr. Nissen, accusing him of abusing his wife and children.

She made a writ of habeas corpus against Mr. Nissen, which was scheduled for the High Court, but she failed to attend and it was dismissed.”

On August 12, last year Spencer showed up at an address in west London and woke the innocent occupant, who was enjoying an afternoon nap, with repeated ringing of the doorbell.

Ms Boucher looked outside and saw the defendant pacing up and down with a lot of paperwork in her hands and an hour later she started shouting through the letterbox: 'Come out, I know you're in there. Come out now.'

She was under the mistaken belief Mr. Nissen lived there and hung around and spoke to the neighbours,” added Mr. Earl-Quarcoo. “She said she was looking for two boys and was told they no longer lived at the address.

She remained outside for several hours, stopping members of the public and pointing up at the flat and shouted: 'I know your f***ing game. You have those two boys hostage.”

Eventually police were called at 8pm and Spencer was later arrested.

She repeated abuse claims against Mr. Nissen from the dock and told the magistrates: “I was gullible and taken for a mug and involved in matters I shouldn't have been.”

Spencer admitted she had a criminal damage conviction regarding her ex's premises and conceded her allegations against him have come to nothing.

No charges ever came of the investigation. That's left me with a mistrust of the police.”

Suicidal Paedophile Locked-Up For Sexually Abusing Twelve Year-Old Boy

Isleworth Crown Court
A paedophile - who has twice tried to kill himself - has eventually been brought to justice for sexually abusing a young boy two decades ago and has started a prison sentence of eight years and eight months.

Warehouse cleaner Keith Thompson, 46, of Park Road, Rugby, Warwickshire pleaded guilty to seven counts of indecently assaulting the boy on dates between January 1, 1994 and December 31, 1998 in the London Borough of Hillingdon.

Isleworth Crown Court Judge Anne Molyneux told him: “It began during games of hide and seek when he was just eight years-old and you asked if he wanted to play other games.”

Thompson then regularly sexually abused the boy up until he was twelve years-old and the truth was finally revealed when the victim blurted out what happened during a row with his mother last year.

When Thompson heard about this he handed himself into police and made a full confession.

This abuse lasted for a number of years and your conduct was regular and repeated towards a young child, who at that age was a vulnerable child.”

Remarkably the victim has made it clear he has enjoyed a “good life' and would prefer Thompson received treatment rather than a lengthy prison sentence.

He liked you, he would play football with you and still bears you no ill will,” the judge told Thompson, who indecently assaulted a young woman in the 1980's. “He liked your company.

The probation service have classified Thompson as a “high risk” of re-offending and he has been unable to explain why he offended or if it was for sexual gratification.

Suspended Sentence For Zero Hours Worker Who Conned The NHS

A zero hours contract worker with Chelsea and Westminster NHS Trust, who forged time sheets and collected over £7,500 after ending her employment, has received a suspended prison sentence.

Jamaica Ubaldo, 23, of Talbot Road, Wembley even had the cheek to phone her former bosses and demand wages when her scam was uncovered and the payments stopped.

She pleaded guilty at Hammersmith Magistrates Court to forging the time sheets between June 1, 2013 and February 26, this year and was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court.

Prosecutor Mr. Richard Doolan told the court: “The defendant stopped working in May last year, but after this she continued submitting time sheets and was paid up until February.

When the fraud came to light the defendant rang the office asking where the payments were. You may think this aggravates the offence.”

Ubaldo received an eight-month suspended prison sentence and was ordered to perform 120 hours community service work.

She must also pay a £100 victim surcharge.

Wearing his trademark wide-brimmed hat and union flag bow-tie he quipped from the dock: "I have been asked to remove my hat. As Maurice Chevalier said: 'It's the only thing you can take off to a lady in public.'"

Prosecutor Miss Kate Shilton successfully applied for the case to be sent to Isleworth Crown Court for a preliminary hearing on March 3 due to its seriousness.

It is alleged Lategan sat too close to the bus complainant and after showing off his portfolio of work followed her off and hugged her in the street and groped her breast, revealing that her was noticeably aroused.

Betting-Shop Conman O'Connor Lives Up To His Name





Betting-Shop Blarney: O'Connor
A fast-talking betting-shop swindler, who boozed away the profits of his audacious scam, which involved tricking staff into believing he placed winning bets, has received a suspended prison sentence.
He intimidated and confused betting shop cashiers into believing he had won bets, losing the bookmakers around £10,000
John O’Connor, 33, of St Mary's Road, Ealing, conned staff at 14 branches of Ladbrokes across London and the UK over around 18 months, from July 2012.


He used a number of what the betting industry refers to as “slow count fraud” tactics, to fool staff into believing he had won bets when, in some cases, he had not even paid his stake.


Tactics included placing a bet but then distracting the cashier - sometimes with the help of friends - by asking questions, becoming rowdy or placing a series of small, obscure bets at the same time.
This would allow him time to see if his runner was likely to win. 


If it won, he would hand over his stake and claim the profit, or else pretend he had already paid and ask only for his winnings.
He would then place the non-existent stake on another bet and if he lost, he would leave without paying the stake. 


On The Con: O'Connor In Action
Snaresbrook Crown Court heard O’Connor targeted London branches in Hillingdon, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets, Newham, Waltham Forest, Wandsworth and Westminster.
He also travelled around the country to Clevedon, Somerset; Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottingham; Chester; Standish, Greater Manchester; Sandy, Bedfordshire; Chelmsford, Essex and Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.


Ladbrokes reported the offences to the Metropolitan Police Service in April 2013, after he carried out the con at a branch on Oxford Street, Westminster.
Detectives circulated CCTV images of him to police services around the country and Hertfordshire police officers arrested him in July 2014.


O’Connor was charged with 15 counts of a fraud by misrepresentation, to which he pleaded guilty.


While on bail, awaiting sentence, he carried out the same offence at William Hill, Tyburn Road, Edington, Birmingham on December 28, last year.


It is believed that he may have carried out the scam on many more occasions.


O'Connor received eighteen months imprisonment, suspended for two years and was placed on probation for twelve months, which includes a four-month alcohol treatment order.

Blades Fans Attacked Fellow Supporter During FA Cup Semi-Final Defeat



Dale Beck
Two Sheffield United supporters, who attacked fellow supporters at last seasons FA Cup semi-final, received suspended prison sentences yesterday and have been banned from football matches for three years.

Ironmonger Dale Beck, 21, of Handsworth Grange Road, Sheffield and asbestos remover Josh Cherrill, 22, of Hollybank Drive, Sheffield were caught on CCTV punching and kicking the two men as the match progressed.

Both pleaded guilty at Harrow Crown Court to violent disorder at the Sheffield United v Hull City match, which the Blades lost 5-3 at Wembley stadium on April 13, last year.

Detective Sergeant Matthew Hearing, of Scotland Yard's Public Order Branch told the court: “An argument breaks out and this involves people fighting and falling over each other.

Mr. Cherrill is seen to remonstrate with stewards then walk up the steps, approached victim number one and after words are exchanged punches this man in the face.

This forces the victim backwards and a melee ensues with other men joining in and punching this victim. He is grabbed and punched from all sides.

Mr. Cherrill and the victim lose balance and the victim falls face down onto the seats with Mr. Cherrill laying on his back and punching him on the way down.

Mr. Beck is seen to run down several rows of seats and is seen stamping on the head and shoulders of the victim who is trying to stand up.

The second victim comes to his assistance and is punched back by Mr. Beck and others join in the assault.
Joshua Cherrill

Mr. Cherrill punches the second victim around the head and body and the victim's shirt is ripped off.

Mr. Cherrill has the man in a headlock and an unknown male kicks him in the face.”

Neither of the two victims were identified or made a complaint to police and Cherrill claims he was reacting to being punched during the first disturbance.

Four complaints were made from Sheffield United supporters, many of whom were there with children and members of their family. “It marred the game and made them feel apprehensive,” added DS Hearing.

Mr. Karl Masi, defending both men said: “Mr. Cherrill accepts he had been drinking that day and got the coach down from Sheffield. He's a glory supporter, who attends the big fixtures and has not been to football since.”

Recorder Arif Choudhury QC told Cherrill: “It seems to be a wholly unprovoked attack. It escalated and several men joined in,”

He told Beck: “You joined in and used quite high levels of violence.

This is, quite clearly, a very violent incident that escalated and members of the public were in attendance with their children. It must have been frightening to be near this behaviour.

The incident could quite have easily resulted in serious injuries.”

Cherrill received sixteen months imprisonment, suspended for two years, with 150 hours community service work and Beck twelve months, suspended for two years, with 100 hours.

Both must obey a night time curfew for the next three months, pay a £100 victim surcharge and were banned from attending domestic football matches and all overseas
fixtures involving Sheffield United and the england national team.
