Serial sex attacker who raped baby claimed he had 'monster inside his head'

A serial sex attacker whose offences included the rape of a baby has been jailed for 30 years. Jay Perren admitted 25 offences, many against children, which were branded as "unforgivable" by the police officer in charge of the investigation.

His string of offending included five counts of rape, including a child under 12 months old, sexual assault of a child under 13, multiple charges of causing a child to engage in sexual activity and two breaches of a sexual harm prevention order. He appeared at Teesside Crown Court on Monday where he was sentenced to 30 years in prison plus five years' extended licence, reports Teesside Live.

The court was told how Perren's crimes were committed over several years. He had carefully documented them in 33,000 images and videos which were stored in 140 folders, filed under either the victim's names or locations on an SD card.
