A PREDATORY paedophile who ‘manipulated’ young boys is rightly behind bars, the NSPCC has said.

Online sex predator Alex Orr was jailed for exploiting teenagers on Facebook and Skype after inventing a fake identity.

The 27-year-old fooled his victims into thinking they were having ‘genuine encounters’ with ‘Sarah Duffy’ to satisfy his sexual gratification.

At Oxford Crown Court, Judge Ian Pringle QC today branded the paedophile a danger to the public before jailing him for six years, with a four-year extended licence period.

Yesterday, an NSPCC spokesman welcome Orr’s sentence.

He said: “Orr is a predatory paedophile who manipulated young boys for his own sexual gratification and is rightly behind bars for his shocking crimes.

“It is crucial he is given effective treatment in prison to ensure he is no longer a danger to children when he is released. The internet is used as a gateway by abusers to commit thousands of offences against young people each year.”

Orr filmed the teenagers performing sexual acts he demanded while the victims watched intimate pre-recorded footage of a woman, pinched from the internet, believing it was streamed live.

Boys as young as seven were enticed to join their older siblings on webcam during Orr’s ‘truly shocking’ offending, prosecutor Matthew Walsh said. The paedophile, of Villeboys Close, Abingdon, confessed he had used Facebook to satisfy his sexual desires for decades, chatting with thousands of teenage boys.
