- Neil Wilson lured the girl to his home where she performed a sex act on him
- He pleaded guilty to the abuse, but received suspended sentence
A judge allowed a paedophile to walk free after his 13-year-old victim was described as a ‘sexual predator’ who was ‘egging him on’ to engage in a sexual act.
Judge Nigel Peters told Neil Wilson, 41, who pleaded guilty to the abuse, he had also taken account the fact the child looked older.
Wilson lured the teenager to his home in Romford, Essex, where he watched her strip out of her school uniform before she performed a sex act on him.
The abuse did not come to light until the girl confided in a friend who then told police.
During a search of Wilson’s home officers also uncovered a stash of images and videos depicting child abuse and bestiality.
He admitted a string of charges but was handed a suspended sentence at Snaresbrook Crown Court.
Judge Peters told him: ‘You have come as close to prison as is imaginable.
‘I have taken in to account that even though the girl was 13, the prosecution say she looked and behaved a little bit older.
‘You knew she was not nearly 16 as she said and your plea of guilty recognises that you knew.
