Sentencing Nick Gratwick, judge described his offences, which included plotting to rape children as young as six, as ‘the stuff of nightmares’
A “dangerous” paedophile who had worked as a police informer spying on environmental and animal rights activists has been jailed for life.
Nick Gratwick had been found guilty of 38 paedophile offences, including arranging to rape children as young as six in the UK and abroad.
On Friday, Judge Harden-Frost, jailing him, described his offending as “utterly depraved and manipulative, and the stuff of nightmares”.
The 68-year-old from Mitcham, south London, had exchanged hundreds of encrypted messages with other abusers.
