A ‘sexual predator’ has been jailed for five years after pleading guilty to sexual offences against two young girls. John Christopher Fraser, 47, of Standish Court, Peterborough, admittedsevencharges against his victims. Theabuse took place in Peterborough in the early 2000s.

The offences came to light when one of the victims came forward to report them to the police in November 2015. Fraser encouraged his victim to take off her clothes before photographing her.

An NSPCC spokesperson said: “Fraser is a sexual pred- ator whose catalogue of depraved crimes only came to light thanks to the courage of his victims. His vile abuse will have had a lasting effect on two girls, but Fraser must get treatment while locked up to ensure he is not a threat to children ever again.

“It is vital that all survivors of abuse know they will belistened to whentheycome forward and are given appropriate support no matter how much time has passed.”

Detective Constable Nat Hebdon said: “It took a great deal of bravery for the victim to come forward and for the second victim to speak out abouttheabuse. Thesentence given by the court reflects the seriousness of the crimes committed by Fraser.”

Fraser pleaded guilty to two counts of gross indecency with a girl under 16 years of age, two counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, two counts of taking an indecent photograph of a child andonecount of causing a child to watch or look at an image of sexual activity.
