Church worker made girl engage in sex act on video chats
Anthony Arr, 61, appeared at Newport Crown Court accused of offences against a 13-year-old girl in the Gwent area between 2009 and 2010. The court heard Arr – who was 45 at the time – began sending the girl messages calling her beautiful and mentioning the age gap between them after she added him on Facebook. Their conversations moved on to MSN, and they then began talking over webcams, the prosecution said. The chats would happen 'most nights' and occurred during the early hours of the morning – between around 2am and 5am – with the defendant asking 'Are you clear?' to check with the victim that she wouldn't be disturbed. Arr told the victim 'Get your kit off', and incited her to masturbate on the webchats. During this, he was also naked and he would masturbate whilst watching her on the webcam. During the chats, Arr told the girl: 'Don't worry, when we do have sex you won't be able to get pregnant', and referred to his vasectomy – telling her he had been 'snipped'. The defendant was married and employed by a church at the time. This offending stopped after he was caught having an affair with a woman. Arr was interviewed by police on October 5 last year. He admitted engaging in sexual communication with the girl, but said he believed she was '15 or 16'. Church worker Anthony Arr masturbated as he made a teenage girl strip in online chat. (Image: Gwent Police) The defendant, now of Laburnum Avenue in Skegness, Lincolnshire, pleaded guilty to two offences of causing a child to engage in sexual activity and two offences of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child. In a statement read to the court by the prosecution, the victim said she 'continually battled with' the effects of Arr's abuse. 'I was too scared to tell [my mum] and kept it to myself,' she said. 'I fear the impact of [the defendant's] offending is going to affect me for the rest of my life.' Josh Scouller, in mitigation, said: 'This does seem to be a particularly isolated incident. 'This occurred during the course of the breakdown of his marriage. He was in a very unhappy place. 'He acknowledges what he had done is wrong. He has never suggested otherwise. 'He broke off contact with the victim in this case. 'He hasn't sought to extend the pain by denying matters.' Sentencing Arr, Judge Carl Harrison said: 'You should be thoroughly ashamed of the damage you have caused the victim. 'Whilst she was going through this turmoil, you were able to go about your life as normal. 'It took the bravery of [the victim] to bring you to justice.' Arr was jailed for a total of four years and four months. He must register as a sex offender for life, and the victim was granted a life-long restraining order.

Cops probed dozens of sightings of Charlene around the time of her disappearance with several members of the public reporting seeing the missing woman. Mystery swirls in hunt for missing woman who vanished after trip to Morrisons as cops share new CCTV A number of people contacted cops to say they saw Charlene with unknown individuals. Officers urged the unknown individuals and any potential witnesses to come forward at the time, they have today reissued their appeal for information.

Witnesses claimed the mum may have been wearing a blue jacket when she was seen. 5 5 She was spotted walking in single file with two men, one of which was described as white, aged in his 30s or 40s, and of average height. Nearly four months after she vanished, witnesses reported seeing Charlene at an Asda in Croyton, Cardiff. She was allegedly spotted in the store on November 1 with a young boy who looked to be around four-years-old. Another woman, around 40, with short burgundy dyed hair, approached Charlene and all three left the supermarket.

Detective Chief Inspector Matt Powell, from South Wales Police, said today: 'The investigation into the disappearance of Charlene is complex and meticulous. 'Despite a huge number of enquiries, which are continuing, unfortunately no one has come forward with information about what has happened to Charlene or where she is. 'We remain committed to finding Charlene and a specialist team of officers and staff are focused on the investigation.' DCI Powell added: "Charlene is a mother, a sister, a daughter, and a friend to many. "We understand that this is an extremely difficult time and, like us, they are desperate for answers. 'Charlene's family are supported by a family liaison officer, and we continue to communicate with them in line with their wishes, only to have contact when there is a significant development. ' If anyone has information, no matter how insignificant it might seem, please come forward not just for us, but for Charlene and her family.'
