A PREGNANT woman is having a baby with a man she had no idea is a convicted paedophile.
The woman, who has not been named, met Jamie Henfrey, 24, online in October last year – shortly after he was released from prison and sent home to Glen Parva, Leicestershire.
Henfrey was jailed for 13 months in May 2019 for a string of convictions, including possessing indecent images of children.
He was first convicted in 2017 for trying to groom a 12-year-old girl online. The child was an undercover policeman.
In April this year, Henfrey sent explicit pictures and videos of himself to a police-run snapchat account pretending to be another 12-year-old girl called Holly.
He also told her what explicit acts he wanted her to perform – with detailed instructions.
Recorder Sandeep Kainth said Henfrey was "depraved" and called his crimes "absolutely grotesque".
Henfrey had told his girlfriend – who he lived with in Birmingham – that his visits to probation officers was about money he owed people, even though a court order meant he was obliged to tell the truth.
He is also banned from sharing a house with a child.
Henfrey admitted breaching his sexual harm prevention order twice at Leicester Crown Court on Friday.
He also pleaded guilty to attempting sexual communication with a child and attempting to cause a child to watch a sexual act, the Leicester Mercury reports.
Prosecutor Jonathan Dunne said Henfrey was "flying under the radar" of people meant to keep others safe.
In Henfrey's defence, Ben Gow said: "[Mr Henfrey] tells me he doesn't have a real interest in children – he gets drunk and has a compulsion to get online and behave as he did.
"He is desperate to stop."
Recorder Kainth said Henfrey told a "pack of lies" to his girlfriend about his convictions.
He was sentenced to 41 months in prison.
