James Blundell embarked upon a depraved campaign of rape and sexual assaults after grooming his victims with cash and sweets. He was said to have had a "longstanding sexual interest in children", which a judge said had led to a catalogue of "predatory sexual behaviour".
But, around two months later, concerns were raised to his parents by a neighbour. This prompted his mother to ask him "has James ever been silly with you?", at which he became "immediately very distressed" and even "so distressed that he was physically sick". Then, having bought him food from McDonald's, he attempted to touch the boy's private parts over his clothing. However, the complainant "kept blocking him so that he could not touch it".
Blundell told the boy that his own penis was "proper small", then pulled it from his trousers and began waving it around while laughing before returning him home. He later sent the youngster a series of "inappropriate" messages on Instagram, including pornographic images. His defence counsel told the court: "He accepts that there is nothing at all I can say on his behalf to mitigate the truly horrific crimes that he has committed. He, through me, offers his most sincere apologies to the young children and their families, and everybody who has been affected by his terrible actions.
