WARNING – DISTRESSING CONTENT: The mum agreed to registered sex offender John Davies, 45, staying at her home and discussed in ‘graphic detail’ how he would rape her 12-year-old daughter
The mum of a 12-year-old girl agreed to allow a registered sex offender into her home after discussing in “graphic detail” how he would rape her daughter.
The parent spoke with John Davies, 45, over Kik where the two adults arranged he would come to her home to abuse the child. Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard the pair spoke in grim detail about the sexual abuse that would be inflicted on the girl, including the clothes she would wear, with Davies saying she would be “sore by the end of the week”. The predator also sent over a picture of his sex toy collection, explaining how he would use them on the child.
The girl’s mum agreed Davis would stay at her home for a week while her husband was away. On Tuesday, Davis was handed an extended 20-year jail sentence, made up of 14-and-a-half years custody and five-and-a-half years extended licence.
Davies was also jailed in 2016 for trying to meet up with a child after sexual grooming and attempted sexual activity with a child under 16. He breached the Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) five times between 2022 and 2023, and in April last year, Davies told his offender manager he needed help, mentioning a second mobile phone he had at home.
Police arrived at the address on April 27, 2024 and recovered the phone from a kitchen cupboard. It was found to have contained 132 indecent images of children at category A – the most serious; 35 at category B and 77 at category C.
Prosecutor Josh Daley said: “The images showed young girls, aged six to nine, being raped and in pain. The defendant was asked what age he likes and he said, ‘Ideally seven to 10 being f*****’. He used 15 instant messaging services and he used usernames without informing the police.”
The most serious charge involved Davies making arrangements with the woman in Birmingham to rape her 12-year-old daughter. Mr Daley said: “He sent a picture of his sex toy collection and discussed how he would use gags, restraints and a collar. He said, ‘It is a fantasy of mine. I want somebody to give me a chance’. He also sent a category A image of a child aged between seven and nine.”
Davies pleaded guilty to arranging the commission of a child sex offence (rape of a child under 13); attempted sexual communication with a child; distributing a class A indecent image of a child; three charges of making indecent images of children; and three charges of breaching a SHPO.
Paul Cliff, mitigating, said Davies was convicted because of his openness in telling his offender manager about the phone, and that no physical abuse took place on the girl. Judge Graeme Smith said in his view Davies was “undoubtedly dangerous”. He added: “You discussed at length in disgustingly graphic detail what you intended to do to the woman’s 12-year-old daughter.”
The judge said there was additional degradation and humiliation intended to the victim by the use of various sex toys.
Davies was placed on the sex offenders’ register for life.
