Pedophile guy slapped with 12 yrs.

- BY JOHN ANNESE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

A Queens creep tried to turn his new girlfriend into a sexual predator, sending her child porn and urging her to start a family with him so they could abuse their children at birth.

Howard Stapley, 40, of Astoria, was slapped with a fourto-12 year prison sentence for the sick scheme Tuesday, after pleading guilty to nearly 300 counts of child-porn related charges.

“I enjoy the idea of converting you into a pedophile,” Stapley texted the woman, who he’d been dating for about a month, prosecutor­s said.

He started seeing her in August 2015, and about a month later he had her download the Kik messenger app on her phone.

He then started sending her pictures and videos of young children being molested by adults and told her about how he wanted to explore sexual relationsh­ips with “animals to kids to groups,” prosecutor­s said. He suggested sharing a bed and having group sex with another woman and her three children, prosecutor­s said.

He told the woman how to take child porn photos, gave her tips on how to molest a child in a public bathroom, and urged her to place baby-sitting ads to lure in victims, prosecutor­s said.

She went to the police, who pulled pictures he sent from her phone and raided his house on Sept. 30, 2015, finding more child porn on his laptop and phone.

“Several victim impact statements from the children identified in the online images were read in court illustrati­ng the trauma they endured and the continued torture they go through every day knowing these images are being shared with others,” Queens District Attorney Richard Brown wrote.

“The defendant also shared his desire to breed children in order to sexually abuse them.

“This kind of depravity will not be tolerated.”

Stapley’s lawyer did not immediatel­y return a call seeking comment.
