Salford Man Locked Up for Over a Decade in Child Sex Abuse Case
Benjamin Lancaster, 33, from Charles Street, Swinton, Salford, has been sentenced to 10 years and 6 months behind bars for shocking crimes. He was convicted of rape, possessing indecent images, and arranging travel for sexual purposes involving two girls under 16.
Inside the Disturbing ‘Daddy Dominant Little Girls’ Network
The court heard Lancaster led a twisted online child sex ring called “Daddy Dominant Little Girls” (DDLG). He claimed to be in a polyamorous relationship, recruiting vulnerable girls online. Lancaster imposed strict rules on them, controlling their bedtime, clothes, social lives, and forcing specific sexual acts.
He demanded the victims call him “Daddy” and promised them a better life to lure them in. The vile abuse was uncovered when a carer spotted indecent images and videos during a child’s online check.
Arrest and Lifelong Punishment
Lancaster was arrested in October 2021 at his home. Police found disturbing conversations with children worldwide on his devices. Yesterday’s ruling also placed him on the sex offenders’ register for life and slapped him with a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).
Police Praise Victims’ Bravery, Urge Others to Speak Out
“Lancaster will be away from children and behind bars for many years,” said Detective Constable Emma Puckering from Salford Connect Team. “We thank the victims and their support networks for their courage in helping secure this justice.”
Authorities urge anyone who may have suffered exploitation linked to Lancaster’s network to come forward. Contact Greater Manchester Police at 101 or visit gmp.police.uk. For anonymous tips, call charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
