Paedophile Abraham Berger Jailed for 14 Years After Sickening Child Abuse Exposed
Abraham Berger, 40, from Hackney, was locked up for 14 years at Snaresbrook Crown Court on 14 January. The depraved predator pleaded guilty back in October 2020 to multiple horrific offences against children under ten.
Sickening Charges: Abuse and Disturbing Images
- Sexual assault on a girl under 13 by penetration
- Sexual assault on a girl under 13 by touching
- Sexual assault on a boy under 13 by penetration
- Sexual assault on a boy under 13 by touching
- Three counts of making indecent images of children (categories A to C)
- Distribution of indecent images of children
On top of his jail time, Berger will spend four years on licence and be subjected to an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
Part of Sinister Online Ring
Berger wasn’t acting alone. He was part of an instant messaging group where members exchanged vile videos and images of child abuse — and even discussed their sick deeds.
Police busted him on 6 August 2020, when the Met’s Online Child Abuse and Exploitation team arrested him. His phone revealed nearly 1,600 unique indecent images plus 127 videos graded A to C, including “first generation” footage showing Berger himself committing the abuse.
Police Warn: Berger a Serious Threat
Detective Constable Chris Bailey of the Met’s Central Specialist Crime team said: “Berger is a dangerous, predatory offender who poses a serious risk to children. He was living a double life, committing sickening acts of child abuse and bragging about them online.
“Protecting children and vulnerable people is our top priority. We have teams dedicated to hunting down online abusers like Berger.”
If You Have Information, Speak Up
The Met urges anyone with concerns about Berger’s past contact with children to call 101, or dial 999 in an emergency. Specially trained officers are on hand to listen and launch investigations.
