A judge has incarcerated Kyle Fox Epsom Paedophile who recorded his “shocking and dreadful abuse of children” under five years of age, which subsequently surfaced on the dark web.
Kyle Fox, 26, from Epsom, Surrey, confessed to assaulting the youngsters and documenting his abuse, although refuted allegations of disseminating any of the disturbing material on a dark web platform, as shown in Kingston Crown Court.
A unique bracelet he wore at one time, together with an analysis of his voice by a speech expert, assisted detectives in identifying him from the abuse films.
Prosecutor Martin Hooper stated that Kyle Fox also “gave the impression” of confessing to his activities post-arrest, although in truth, his admissions were “restricted and deceptive”.
Mr. Hooper stated, “He is partially attributing the blame to the children.”
Judge Georgina Kent sentenced Kyle Fox to 22 years of imprisonment, followed by a further two years on licence, stating: “You sexually abused two very young and vulnerable children.”
Your offences were uncovered when a video of the abuse was posted on a file-sharing website.
“Officers were able to identify you through the data.”
“These are profoundly grave and immoral offenses.”
“Any rational individual would be unequivocally horrified by this egregious sequence of offenses.”
The judge informed Kyle Fox that she was “satisfied you administered drugs to incapacitate” the boy, and subsequent testing revealed the child had “traces of cocaine in his hair.”
Kyle Fox had earlier entered a guilty plea to all 22 charges.
Fourteen accusations were filed against a child aged four or five years, and five counts were filed against a female aged one to three years.
His victims are not connected.
The allegations against the kid consist of seven counts of rape, six counts of assault by penetration, and other counts of repeated sexual assaults.
The allegations against the teenager consist of five counts of assault with penetration.
Kyle Fox received a 14-year prison sentence for his crimes against the child and an additional eight years for his offences against the girl, to be served concurrently.
He also confessed to producing obscene photos of children, comprising 4,743 category A images or films (the most serious), 4,263 category B, and 3,995 category C.
Kyle Fox received sentences of four years, three years, and two years, respectively, for the indecent photos he produced. These sentences are to be executed concurrently.
The judge told Kyle Fox: “You recorded your offending so I have full descriptions of the shocking and dreadful abuse that you perpetrated on them.
“I have also read the chat logs in which your repugnant and distorted attitudes towards the children was laid bare.
“I have read descriptions of the dreadful child abuse images and videos found.
“The evidence shows that you uploaded over 6,000 videos to the file sharing website and in return gained credits which enabled you to view other content.”
Files discovered on his seized laptop after Kyle Fox was arrested included images of the boy being attacked.
A sofa bed where the girl had been abused was found in a search of his home.
The court also heard that Kyle Fox had a large collection of porn involving these two victims and other children.
Lionel Blackman, defending, said that Kyle Fox did not seek to “suggest any moral blame to the children” during his police interviews but instead had been “extremely candid” in his answers.
It was also stated that Kyle Fox was willing to take part in therapy and had a “physical and mental past from his childhood which may form the circumstance of his descent in to these offences”.
The judge also praised the officers and investigators who were involved in the successful conclusion to the “difficult to detect” offences.
She said she had “no doubt” they had “prevented the imminent and further serious abuse of children”.
After the hearing the National Crime Agency said that its National Cyber Crime Unit, working with partners in South Korea and the United States, had taken down the site which contained 145,000 videos of child sex abuse and had been viewed by offenders millions of times.
NCA senior investigating officer Jason Booth said: “Kyle Fox has committed utterly horrific offences with ‘first-generation’ images of that abuse appearing online.
“Law enforcement needs to be able to proactively target the highest-risk, hardest-to-tackle child sexual abuse and exploitation offenders, using covert and specialist assets as increasingly required, and focus on areas where there is a greater risk of contact abuse.
“The NCA prioritises these cases to safeguard vulnerable children and prosecute offenders.”
