Upon examination of that man’s devices the investigating officers located online communication with Edun’s Kik account during which Edun had encouraged the man to rape a child.
He had previously pleaded guilty to encouraging the rape and sexual assault of a baby, distributing indecent images of children, two counts of making indecent images of children, and perverting the course of justice.
The judge said that the evidence shows a determined and committed sexual interest in children, especially babies, over an extended period and that Edun poses a significant risk of harm to children.
Detective constable Phill Govett, investigating officer for the case said: “Keith Edun has proven himself to be a dangerous sexual offender and a clear risk to children.
The Met began looking into tackling the sexual abuse and exploitation of children in 2021 when police were informed that indecent images had been posted on the social media app Kik.
