Paedophile took indecent images of 11-year-old blind girl
A PAEDOPHILE who took indecent images of an 11-year-old girl who is registered blind and disabled was jailed for a total of eight years yesterday.
Wayne Martin Brouard, 41, pictured, was also sentenced for indecently assaulting another underage girl and enticing her to commit an act of gross indecency with him.
The Royal Court was told there was 'a highly significant risk' of re-offending by the defendant, who had previous convictions.
Judge Russell Finch said these had been revolting offences. The sentence had to reflect the detestation for such activities and serve to protect other children.
Very little mitigation was available on Brouard's behalf and he maintained his innocence to the indecent assault and gross indecency charges despite compelling evidence against him at trial.
Regarding the photographs he took, the court heard how he had befriended the girl's father through his work.
Her family came to Guernsey from the UK because the father had an offer of work and they visited the defendant at his home.
