There were images containing asphyxiation and hanging in which there was a real risk to the human subjects. “Internet searches showed searches for terms such as ‘snuff’ and ‘snuff wants to be stabbed’. It is clear the defendant had a preoccupation with strangulation, stabbing, torture, drowning, asphyxiation and death. Mr Lee said: “The images portray life-threatening acts and genital mutilation. His device revealed 47 extreme pornographic images of which 14 were videos, all created between September 2017 and May 2018. Opening the case, Philip Lee explained that Dangar was first arrested on May 30 when his mobile phone was seized, before he was arrested for a second time after police swooped on the pub on November 2. Jerome Dangar, 44, formerly of the King Arthur’s Arms in Tintagel, was caught with the sickening images after a police raid in November and one pathologist who examined them stated that there was a strong possibility that they weren’t staged and that some of the subjects died during the filming process.ĭangar appeared at Truro Crown Court on January 7 for sentencing after previously pleading guilty to nine counts of possession of extreme pornographic images. Jerome DangarĪ judge described genital mutilation and snuff images downloaded by a north Cornwall publican as being “as extreme as any image of this sort can be”. Judge Carr activated one month of the suspended sentence for the breach. It would be wrong not to acknowledge that you have now served much of this sentence.”
“You failed to keep in touch with the Probation Service but paid a heavy price with your detention in The Philippines. The court gave you the opportunity of a suspended sentence and appropriate treatment but you made the decision to go to The Philippines, one that cannot be justified. Judge Carr said: “In 2015 you were convicted of a serious offence involving grooming. Sentencing Wyatt for the breach, Judge Simon Carr noted that he had spent a year in detention in the south east Asian country and some time in prison in the UK since his return. “The conditions were less hospitable in Manila and exacerbated his double hernia and back pain.” He was detained in December 2017 and spent a year in a detention facility in Manila before he was eventually returned to this country and retained at the airport. “As a result of a falling out with her his return airline ticket was destroyed. Prosecuting, Ramsay Quaife said that until November 2016 the order had been going well until Wyatt disappeared causing police to issue and execute a warrant.ĭefending Wyatt, Jason Beal said: “He started very well in response to the order and was attending the Thames Valley Sex Offenders’ Programme but then met an adult female on the internet and visited The Philippines.
Wyatt returned to Truro Crown Court on January 4 to be sentenced for failing to comply with a sex offender programme and failing to attend appointments with the Probation Service. Wyatt had contacted a fake profile set up by the police and arranged to meet a girl he knew was under age, but on his way to meet her at a Premier Inn hotel miles away from his home, he was arrested by officers. Wyatt, then of Higher Tower Road, Newquay, had believed he was meeting teenager "Holly Stephens" at a hotel on January 19, 2015, but was instead confronted by an undercover police officer. In March 2015 Mark Wyatt, 42, was given a 15-month prison sentence, suspended for 24 months, after he was caught in a sting operation while attempting to meet a 15-year-old girl he had groomed over the internet. January Mark WyattĪ sex offender who was spared jail for grooming a schoolgirl online breached the terms of his sentence by fleeing to The Philippines to meet a woman he met on the internet.
