Pedophile bank manager guilty of 90 attacks

Anthony Barron was a predatory pedophile who used children as "toys" and stored film of his acts in an extensive video library.

in an Oxford court yesterdya, Judge Julian Halltold him yesterday that the offences were "as serious as I think I have ever come across".

"I can't imagine anything worse than a parent knowing that their child has not only been abused but also knowing that film exists of that abuse."

Barron, 54, was found guilty of the rape and attempted rape of a 12-year-old girl following a two-day trial at Oxford Crown Court. He had already admitted 87 offences against another 10 girls between 1995 and 2006.

They included assaults on two sisters on the same day - one after the other. Police discovered footage of Barron joking on camera that there was not enough room for both of them with him at the same time.

On another occasion he abused a child while her mother was elsewhere in his house in Wantage.

Barron, a divorced father of three, lured girls to his home with sweets and games, and then bribed them not to talk about the abuse by handing out further treats. He was given a minimum term of nine years. (only!!)

As per usual, we have a law system that has let the victims down.
