Paedophile who travelled from Norwich to Surrey with intention of sexually abusing a child has been jailed for six years.

Carl Windsor, 29, from Norwich, travelled to Oxted in Surrey to meet with a man he had been talking with online, and with the intention of abusing a five-year-old girl. However, he was intercepted by officers from Kent Police who had been investigating him. He was arrested and taken into custody.

A joint investigation with Lancashire Police was launched when allegations arose that Windsor had sexually abused a nine-year-old girl.

Windsor initially denied offences, but later pleaded guilty to sexual assault & arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence. He also admitting downloading indecent images of children.

Detective Constable Jo-anne Gordon of Kent Police’s paedophile online investigation team said:

‘The evidence we gathered against Carl Windsor displayed an obvious desire to carry out sexual acts on a child.

‘He is a risk to public- the prison sentence and subsequent registration on sex offender register should help protect them.

‘Consequently, we will do everything in our power to proactively target people who seek to commit sexual offences against children and ensure they receive a prison sentence.
