Paedophile Tyrel Benjamin Slapped with 7 Years Behind Bars

Caught in Covert Sting

Tyrel Benjamin, 25, from Harrow, has been jailed for seven years after a police sting exposed his vile plans. He was caught paying £150 to abuse a child, a sick attempt uncovered by a Met and South East Regional Organised Crime Unit operation.

Long Rap Sheet of Child Sex Crimes

Benjamin had already been on thin ice after a 12-month suspended sentence for possessing indecent images. But his latest offences — attempting to pay for a child’s sexual services, arranging child sex offences, breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, and distributing indecent images — landed him in hot water at Southwark Crown Court.

Justice Served

On Friday, 15 November, he was sentenced to seven years in prison with an additional two years on extended licence. This harsh sentence reflects the seriousness of his repeated child sex crimes.
