Sean Wallace, the Haringey Paedophile, has been incarcerated after an online covert Metropolitan Police operation that revealed his intentions to perpetrate egregious sexual offences against minors.
Sean Wallace, 44 (17.07.80), of Woodside Road, Haringey, received a sentence of 14 and a half years in jail at Wood Green Crown Court on Thursday, 19 September, for orchestrating the rape of a child under 13 and disseminating an obscene image of a child.
In an undercover operation where a police officer impersonated a woman with access to a child, Sean Wallace reached out to the officer enquiring about the possibility of sexually abusing the fictitious child. Sean Wallace transmitted explicit photographs of himself and inappropriate images of other minors. In online chats and telephone conversations, Sean Wallace candidly expressed his intention to assault young girls sexually. He coordinated a meeting with the woman to facilitate the rape of the child.
Sean Wallace was arrested at his home address after failing to attend the planned meeting, stating that he was nervous and needed more time to build trust with the woman before meeting her.
The examination of his mobile phone identified that Sean Wallace was speaking online to numerous underage girls.
Sean Wallace was charged on 19 August 2022 and has been held on remand until his sentencing.
Detective Sergeant Robert Blant, whose team led the investigation, said: “Sean Wallace is a dangerous predatory offender who preyed on innocent and vulnerable young children.
“My team worked around the clock to bring Wallace to justice by going through large amounts of disturbing digital evidence collated from his online activities and seized from his home. I’m pleased that as a result of great policing work, we have prevented a dangerous individual from continuing to offend and ruin the lives of children or young people.
“Our dedicated teams will continue to apply their expertise in investigating child sexual offences to safeguard children and young people across London.”
Children and young people are the most vulnerable in society, and the Met is committed to keeping them safe in person and online.
