Paedo Jailed for Trying to Meet Nine-Year-Old Girl for Rape
A vile predator has been locked up for five years after trying to arrange a sick meeting with a nine-year-old girl. Michael Storey, 56, from Gateshead, believed he was chatting with the girl’s mother online — but it was actually an undercover cop.
Disturbing Confessions and Sick Photos
During a two-week police sting in February, Storey admitted young girls were a “serious turn on.” He openly said he would “love” to have non-consensual sex with them. Newcastle Crown Court heard he sent lewd photos of himself and demanded “utterly filthy, dirty, and depraved” images of the child — but shockingly, said children under six were off-limits.
Prosecutor Rachael Glover revealed Storey contacted a Snapchat profile claiming the woman sexually abused her eight-year-old niece. He even suggested teaming up to abuse the girl together.
Undercover Trap Snuffs Out Sick Plans
Another Telegram profile posing as a local woman told Storey she enjoyed watching men abuse her nine-year-old daughter. Storey eagerly agreed and spelled out his depraved plans in graphic detail. They set a date for the abuse — but thankfully, police were one step ahead and stopped the horrific attack before it could happen.
Justice Served and Warning Issued
Storey pleaded guilty to two counts of arranging child sex offences and was slammed with a five-year jail sentence. Northumbria Police released his mugshot as a stark warning to the community.
This case, cracked by sharp undercover work, shows the ongoing battle against online predators targeting the most vulnerable.
