A ‘dangerous sexual predator’ from Wembley who victimised underage girls into stripping and performing sex acts on webcam after grooming them on Facebook has avoided jail.
Mohammed Sarang, 19, of Pembroke Road, befriended the girls after he remotely hacked into the social networking site account of one of his victims’ friends and created a fraudulent account in the name of ‘Nicola Hay’. He used the guise to pretend to be a modelling agent and led them into believing he could find them jobs but they would need to take part in a webcam audition and asked them to undress and perform sexual acts.
Sarang’s identity was revealed when the mother of one of his victims contacted the police after she discovered an online conversation her daughter was having with someone called “Nicola”.
At Harrow Crown Court, Sarang admitted inciting a child under 16 to engage in sexual activity, taking indecent photographs of a child under 16 and causing or inciting child pornography.
He was given a two-year suspended sentence, a supervision order for two years, a five-year Sexual Offences Prevention Order and was ordered to attend a 60-day training programme
