A former Labour MP who downloaded and shared indecent images of children as young as three being molested and gang raped has been jailed for more than two years today.
Paedophile Paul Clark, who represented Gillingham in Kent for 13 years from 1997, was caught with more than 1,000 stills and movie clips on five electronic devices and showing some of the most serious acts of abuse.
Among his obscene collection included a video depicting pre-school children being raped by two men at the same time and a vile montage of 15 clips showing youngsters 'aged between three and six' being subjected to the 'most shocking acts of sexual depravity'.
Following his arrest by the National Crime Agency at his home in Gillingham, on May 12 2021, Clark told officers: 'I know why you're here. I kept telling myself to stop.'
The disgraced 66-year-old was jailed for 28 months at Maidstone Crown Court in Kent today - exactly two years after he was arrested.
As well as his vile trove of sickening abuse images, the court also heard Clark engaged in sexually explicit online chats, sharing deviant images, including a video of a teenage girl performing a sex act for more than two minutes.
Clark pleaded guilty in December last year to three offences of making indecent photos of children between April 2013 and May 2021 and six of distribution between October 2020 and May 2021.
Passing sentence exactly two years after Clark's arrest, Judge Philip Statman told him although the case represented 'a tragic fall for someone who had put the community first', his offending was so serious that jail was inevitable.
The judge added: 'Each of these children is a victim. From the images it is clear they are disturbed by that which is being done to them.
'This is a catalogue of criminal offending....committed for your own sexual gratification.
'It is not just a case of browsing on the internet...This is almost a level of addictive conduct which you pursued and you have a very long way to go in understanding what led you to commit these criminal offences.
I could tell him in a hurry - sin is progressive!
'Much has been rightly said about the public service you have performed in the past. You put the community first and indeed you have tried your best to continue with issues of a community nature, not just here but in Africa, since you lost your seat in 2010.
'It is right too that I emphasise there is no suggestion that any of your offending took place during the time when you were a sitting MP.
'But there is punishment that comes your way on a very different level - the ignominy and public humiliation that your appearance in the dock in the crown court causes you.'
Earlier, the court heard details of the images, some depicting pre-school children being raped by two men at the same time.
One was a montage of 15 clips of youngsters aged between three and six years who, the judge said, were 'all under the control of adults in the most shocking acts of sexual depravity'.
On his iPhones were what prosecutor Daniel Stevenson described as 'two significant chatlogs' in which, during WhatsApp and Kik conversations with two other users identified as 'Toni' and 'PR', Clark discussed the sexual abuse of children and shared explicit images and videos.
He also accompanied the moving clips sent to Toni, who had talked of abusing a 14-year-old boy, with an audio file in which Clark said: 'You horny little f***er. Are you going to tell me what you've done and where you've done it?'

Sohini Dutta revealed the call recordings on her Instagram.
She began inspiring people to fight through her tale. Today, Sohini doesn't require an introduction anymore.
Well, maybe to my audience.
Professional model and well-known social media influencer, Sohini Dutta, is a victim of child sexual abuse. At the age of 15, she became a victim of sexual assault. But after what she did, became an inspiration for many.
Sohini Dutta publicly revealed the incidents of her sexual assault and released the phone recordings of her perpetrator on her Instagram. In the series of released call recordings, he was heard confessing his crimes reported by Navbharat times
This incident happened way back when Sohini Dutta was 15 years old. Sohini was abused by none other than her Aunt’s husband. This heinous act happened not once but a lot of times. Due to this, she decided to leave home and study. But even though she was gone, she couldn’t help but think back on what had happened to her. Even worse, she developed depression. She used to be terrified of being touched. She was unable to disclose this to anyone including her parents.
Sohini then decided to confront reality rather than run from it every day. The sole objective was to ensure that no other female or child ever had to experience the agony of sexual abuse. To do so, she called her Aunt’s husband. She then recorded the three-hour-long phone conversation in which the guy admitted the horrific deeds he had previously committed with her. She then played the recording to her parents. It was admirable whatever the parents did after this. They understood the pain of their girl. After that they immediately filed a complaint with the police and the husband of her aunt who abused Sohini was arrested.
The way the model and influencer, Sohini Dutta overcame became an inspiration to many. She began inspiring people to fight through her tale. Today, Sohini doesn’t require an introduction anymore. She not only works as a professional model but is also a well-known fashion influencer.
And a courageous young woman. Well done Sohini.
