Paedo is jailed for sex sign outrage

A PAEDOPHILE who groomed two young girl neighbours by holding up sexually suggestive signs at his window has been jailed for four years.

Shaun Bowden, 47, filmed the girls aged 12 and 15 after encouraging them to touch and expose their bodies in response to his messages.

Prosecutors told how he stood naked at his window, surrounded by an orange glow from a bar heater or lightbulb.

His offences came to light when the older girl tearfully told a female cop publicising a Safer Schools scheme, Chester Crown Court was told.

Cops found 31 pieces of paper in Bowden’s room with single words written in bold black ink — which he used in combinations.

His messages included Show Me Your T***, Show Me Your A*** and “What Do You Want to See?”

Police also found videos showing the younger girl indulging in “indecent positions and indecent activities in response to instructions he had sent”.

Bowden, of Northwich, Cheshire, admitted causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, outraging public morals, and using and possessing indecent images.
