Duncan Lewis, Legal News Solicitors, A person involved in nationwide paedophile ring jailed for 10 years

A man who was part of a nationwide paedophile ring has been jailed for ten years after he was caught by a undercover policeman while trying to sell his ten year daughter for sex in a London hotel.
Anthony Flack, 54, a bank manager had arranged to meet a man and his ten year old daughter for sex in a London hotel but Flack of Windrush Road, was arrested when the supposed paedophile behind his sick fantasy turned out to be an undercover police officer called ‘Dave’.
Flack admitted conspiracy to rape a child under 13 years. He admitted 11 counts of making indecent images and one of possessing 290 films of extreme pornography and 51 images. He also admitted facilitating the commission of a child sex offence at the Reading Crown Court.
The defence lawyer the father of two said he did not meet a child but was ashamed of his actions. He added that Flack was of good character.
Flack was jailed for ten years in an indeterminate sentence for the protection of the public. He would be serving at least five years. He has also been disqualified from working with children.
Flack was involved in the ring where girls as young as nine were recorded and abused with thousands of videos and still images shared among the men.
The paedophile gang was caught after officers from the Metropolitan Police paedophile unit launched Operation Rockferry when an ongoing investigation uncovered attempts to illicit opportunities to abuse children.
A police spokesman said in August 2011 a covert internet investigator engaged with Flack who used the online name of 'WoofWoof'.
He disclosed that he had previously raped a child under the age of 13. He also spoke of a man, 'Nick', who hosted 'paedophile parties' on a farm.
Flack met with an undercover officer in London. He booked a hotel room in the belief that he was going to abuse the man's child.
Other gang members also jailed were Nicholas Cordery and Peter Malpas and a woman called Fiona Parsons-Davies. Cordery, 63, of Murcott, near Malmesbury admitted two counts of conspiring to rape children aged less than 13 years.
He also admitted making 1,191 indecent images of children, distributing indecent images and two counts of possessing 185 extreme pornographic images. He was jailed for 11 years in an indeterminate sentence for the protection of the public.
Malpas, of Moulton, Northampton, pleaded guilty to assault of a child and sexual touching of a girl less than 13 years. He also admitted possessing 88 movies and 697 indecent images of children, making 98 images and one count of distributing indecent photographs of children. He was jailed for a total of 11-and-half-years for the protection of the public.
Parsons-Davies, 45, of Windsor, Berks, admitted child cruelty at an earlier court hearing after she kept silent about and turning a blind eye on the sexual abuse of a young girl to police. She was jailed for three years.
Her husband Simon Davies, 37, will be sentenced next month for his role in the gang.
