Dungannon Court judge says scale of offending was 'overwhelming'
An abuser who targeted 79 child aged as young as eight was jailed today with the judge saying the scale of his offending was “overwhelming”.
In what became the PSNI ’s Operation Luller, Murray, who has been remanded in custody since his arrest, admitted 152 counts - comprising 65 for making indecent images, 27 of sexual communication, 32 of inciting a child sexual activity, 10 of causing a child to watch sexual activity, seven of causing a child sexual activity, four of causing a child to watch sexual activity, three of possessing indecent imagery, two of paying for sexual services of a child and single counts of blackmail and...
Using a female profile, Murray prompted his victim to send an image of himself, then threatened to send this to his family and workmates if funds weren’t handed over. The communication was accompanied by details of how to make payment. Judge Sherrard said: “The sheer number of offences is overwhelming… The court cannot help but be stunned… This was gross depravity. You used considerable skill in grooming over five years, involving threats, promises and gifts in order to have your way.”
Detective Chief Inspector Lorraine McCutcheon said: “Murray targeted young boys, as young as eight years old, posing as a teenage girl on Snapchat. He manipulated them into sending indecent images and videos of themselves that he would then record and save for his own sexual gratification.
