Prolific paedophile jailed for life
Updated 19.23 Thu Aug 30 2007
Keywords: Oxford Crown Court, Anthony Barron, Paedophile A grandfather who kept a video record of a campaign of sex attacks on girls aged as young as three has been jailed for life.
Anthony Barron, 54, was found guilty of the rape and attempted rape of a 12-year-old girl having already pleaded guilty to 87 offences against 11 children in a catalogue of abuse spanning nine years.
Anthony Barron had already pleaded guilty to 87 offences against 11 children in a catalogue of abuse spanning nine yearsThe 89 crimes included 27 indecent assaults, 11 sexual assaults and five charges of causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity.
The charges included two counts of indecency with a child, three attempted rapes and one of serious sexual assault. He is also guilty over 37 counts of making indecent photographs of children and one count of possessing an indecent photograph.
Barron was given a minimum term of nine yars before he can apply for parole and must spend his life on the sex offenders' register.
The offences reflected a "pattern of behaviour", said Judge Julian Hall, that showed the defendant as a "predatory and plausible paedophile who totally abused the trust" of the families he befriended.
Barron, from Grove, Wantage, lured children to play at his home with toys and games and then bribed them not to say what happened to them with sweets and ice lollies.
When police raided his home they found a stash of toys suitable for children from the age of two.
Oxford Crown Court heard how he would befriend the parents through roles at primary schools, youth clubs and cub groups persuading them to allow their children to stay at his house.
Once the children were there he would groom them into allowing him to abuse them in front of a video camera.
Officers were able to make a comprehensive list of his offences by identifying the children on the video tapes.
In some instances other children can be heard in another room and on one occasion, the court heard, the child's mother was elsewhere in the house unaware of what was happening.

How many more reasons do we need for the death penalty?
87 in this case alone.

Wrong title - he wasn’t jailed for life... only got 9 years.
Welcome to British law my friend.
Welcome to British law my friend.
That incorrect title makes it sounds like they threw away the key.
Sorry UKrepub--we've got the same types of idiots over here.
The life of a pedophile isn't that long in prison.....
That one is beyond me ... I’m sure it’s something serious ... but ... what is it?
How about a 16-ton weight dropped on him?
Rule 303 is called on this one!
Exactly and how the _____ did this guy go on for so long before he was caught????
He is more than a pedophile, he is a monster in every sense of the word - an evil, hideous, monster.
Uhhh huh .... serious.
The good news—no more hemorrhoids!
