Vile paedophile fraudulently landed a job at Leeds nursery
A vile pervert managed to worm his way into a job at a nursery using fake documents.
Kristian Parry forged references to land the role at the Leeds business, having been sacked for drinking at a previous nursery.
He was then found to have thousands of sickening images and videos he had downloaded on his phone when he was arrested, and even a photo of a baby in a nappy as his screensaver.
The 26-year-old was jailed at Leeds Crown Court this week after admitting fraud by false representation and four counts of possessing indecent and prohibited images.
At this time, the Yorkshire Evening Post is not naming the nursery Parry was employed at, but the court heard there was no evidence that any children at the nursery were victims of abuse.
Prosecutor Robert Galley said that police had been alerted to Parry’s illegal online activities in May last year.
It was found that he had fabricated two references to land the job at the nursery, where he had been working for 10 months prior to his arrest.
He had been sacked over his drinking from another Leeds nursery in June 2024, and landed the new job just two months later, the court heard.
His Samsung phone was analysed and found to contain 871 Category A images and videos.
There were also 1,187 Category B, 3,263 in Category C and 52 prohibited images.
Many were of young babies and toddlers.
It was also found he had been communicating with other perverts online, was accessing the dark web and “clearly” had an interest in children in nappies.
Parry, of Sissons Terrace, Middleton, gave a no-comment interview to police.
In mitigation, Eleanor Mitten said Parry was still young and had no previous convictions.
He said he created the false documents to get the job out of desperation due to a lack of finances. Ms Mitten added that he had regret, remorse and shame.
Giving his sentencing remarks, Judge Geoffrey Marson KC told Parry: “You were entrusted with the care of very young children.
“Had they known your history, you would not have been employed.
“You had chatted with others who share a similar sexual interest. Only an immediate sentence can be justified.”
The judge jailed Parry for 24 months, gave him a 10-year sexual harm prevention order (SHPO) and put him on the sex offender register for 10 years.
