Shannon Vicary
A “depraved” couple, of Church Road, Newport, were jailed for nearly 25 years after a girlfriend arranged for her paedophile lover be alone with a toddler and abuse her.
Shannon Vicary found a little girl so that her partner Michael Colmer could live out his sick fantasies and sexually assault her.

Judge David Wynn Morgan told Vicary: "You were plainly anxious to assist in the gratification of Colmer's sexual desires.

Peter Croasdale
Ex-BBC producer Peter Croasdale tried to con a private school’s headteacher into allowing him to film schoolgirls at a Christmas concert.
The serial sex offender attempted to “hoodwink” Monmouth’s Haberdashers’ to allow him to record a carol service.
The 58-year-old gave the school a bogus name and tried to charge the then head £450 to film a performance.
Croasdale was jailed for more than four years in 2009 for sexually abusing a young girl, taking an indecent photograph of a child, voyeurism and possessing indecent photographs of children.
When Gwent Police arrested the ex-Radio 4 producer for committing his recent crimes in Monmouthshire they caught him with disturbing child abuse images on his computer.
He was locked up for four years.
