A Paedophile from Hereford, Douglas Baker, has received a three-year prison sentence after being convicted of several sexual offences.
Douglas Baker, 70, of Marlbrook Road, Hereford, was sentenced at Worcester Crown Court on Wednesday, December 14.
Earlier this year, he admitted guilt to five charges committed between 2019 and 2022.
The five charges for which he was convicted were two counts of inciting an underage girl to engage in sexual activity, engaging in sexual communication with a child, voyeurism – recording of a private act, and making an indecent photograph of a child.
Douglas Baker is now listed on the sex offenders register for life.
DC Harriet Wheadon-Hill said: “This sentence shows that abusing young girls will not go unchallenged or unpunished.
“Following extensive police investigations, together with the courage of the victims to come forward, we can uncover the truth and bring offenders to justice.
“West Mercia Police remains committed to seeking justice for rape victims and survivors of sexual abuse, and we, the police, and wider support services are here for them.”
