Pervert’s ‘lessons’ on how to abuse kids
FORMER CABIN CREW MEMBER CAUGHT BY UNDERCOVER POLICE
A FORMER Thomas Cook cabin crew member was caught teaching police officers how to abuse children.
Max Paraduik, 27, used an online ‘Kik’ profile to send indecent images and advise users how to groom and abuse young children – without getting caught. He unwittingly engaged in conversations with three undercover GMP police officers, posing as paedophiles.
Manchester Crown Court heard how Paraduik pretended to be a dad-offour, and lied to cops about how he abused his own children.
He was arrested and released under investigation for distributing indecent images of children in March 2019. But he continued to interact with two more undercover police officers, sending them ‘highly graphic’ images of children being sexually assaulted.
Following his second arrest, Paraduik denied having an interest in children, telling police he was gay. He told officers that the conversations were ‘pure fantasy.’
Prosecutor Justin Hayhoe told the court that officers from GMP had created online Kik profiles in the hope of identifying potential paedophiles.
“On March 4, an officer checked his Kik account and there was a message from the defendant saying he was a 35-year-old father-of-four from England,” Mr Hayhoe said. “They had a conversation and during the course of that conversation the defendant asked the officer whether he was interested in kids.
“The conversation continued with the defendant advising the officer how to abuse children. He sent a video of a young girl being sexually assaulted.”
Steven Sullivan, defending, said: “He shows genuine remorse and is disgusted by his own behaviour and actions. He made terrible mistakes and he is horrified by them.”
Paraduik was sentenced to 18 months suspended for two years after admitting three counts of distributing indecent images of children. He was also ordered to complete 30 Rehabilitation Requirement days and a programme for registered sex offenders.
Sentencing, Judge Richard Mansell QC said: “The conversation was highly graphic and disturbing. You gave detailed advice to both men about how and when to abuse their own children. The fact you engaged in such discussions leads me to believe you do have paedophile ideas. I am particularly concerned that you went on to offend despite the clear warning you had from your earlier investigation and release.”
Paraduik, of Ashworth Road, Lytham St Anne’s, will also have to sign the sex offenders register for 10 years and be subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for 10 years.
A WOODEN bridge is being dismantled after it was seen ‘sagging’.
Oldham council have closed off Church Road, in Uppermill, following reports the Bridleway Bridge had become unsafe.
A member of the public called the fire service on Saturday after the bridge was seen ‘sagging in the middle’ and there were concerns it could collapse into the road.
The fire service sealed off pedestrian access to the bridge and alerted the council. An inspection of the bridge took place on Monday.
Oldham Council have since sealed off the road underneath the bridge while it is being dismantled.
A statement posted on the council Facebook page said: “Church Road, Uppermill, will temporarily stay closed while we remove the bridleway bridge which has become structurally unsafe.
“Please use alternative routes until the road reopens. We’ll keep you updated when we have more information.”
It is unknown at this stage when the road will be able to reopen again.
A spokesman for the fire service said: “At 7.41am on May 30 we received a 999 call which said a pedestrian bridge on Church Road was sagging in the middle and could collapse onto the road.
“Firefighters attended the scene and closed off pedestrian access to the bridge.”
