Cameron Smith Jailed for Four Years Over Sick Child Sex Offences
Smith Caught Chatting Up Underage ‘Girl’ Online
Cameron Smith was locked up for four years at Minshull Street Crown Court on Thursday, 8 December 2021. He pleaded guilty to multiple offences including attempting to sexually communicate with a child, attempting to cause a child to watch a sexual act, attempting to incite a child into sexual activity, and breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
Breached Earlier Sexual Harm Prevention Order
Smith was slapped with an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order alongside his jail term. He was arrested back in April 2021 after breaking the terms of an earlier order by chatting online with a hunting group. This previous order was given after Smith was convicted in 2017 for sexually communicating with two teenage girls online.
Undercover Sting Exposed His Sick Messages
Police received intelligence from the Metropolitan Police and the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit revealing Smith was chatting to an undercover officer posing as a 13-year-old girl. Using the online name Lotus Greenacre, Smith sent sexual messages and tried to swap explicit photos. He even sent a photo of his penis after begging for nude pictures.
Detective Calls Smith a ‘Remorseless Predator’
Detective Inspector Suzanne Keenaghan of GMP’s Sexual Crime Unit blasted Smith’s actions: “He has shown no remorse for his actions by breaching the terms of his sexual harm prevention order, which has now thankfully ended with him being locked up for the next few years. He has a clear sexual interest in children and he did this all for his own perverted sexual gratification, sparing no thought for the devastating and lasting impact that this could have on his young victims.”
