A paedophile tried to use a false name to contact his estranged son - but accidentally contacted his nephew. Mark Baddeley, 53, has previously been charged with indecent assault, having sex with a girl under 16, and has twice breached the sex offenders register.
He has once again been brought back before the courts after breaching the sex offenders register by using a false name to contact his son. Using the name Peter Smith, he said: "You are 16 now so you can contact me unless you believe all the b******. It is Mark Baddeley. I have had to do it by another name," StokeonTrentLive reports.
This resulted in police going to his home where he told a false story about what he had tried to do.
