WashijaCalling The Culprit
Arora hung up the call with a satisfied smile. Sam Hewings had no idea what he just got himself into. This phone call will act as solid proof in this investigation. The police were able to trace the phone number via the local network tower. Plus the cameras on the station caught him answering the call exactly when the call was made. He just got set up!
True Identity
The facts that add up were enough to arrest Sam Hewings. However, further investigation of this case revealed some unsettling facts about him. They were able to get access to his online chats. Turns out, Hewings had booked two train tickets from Gloucestershire to back his home. But the most disturbing parts were what he planned to do after he took her home.
Not Very Friendly
When the authorities read up further on his online activities, it became obvious that they were dealing with a pedophile. His online records were presented in the court. He had posted on forums, which no decent man would ever subscribe to. He was luring the young girl to his room. But the worse was yet to come.
Dark Web
Not only was the man a pedophile but he was also a part of various dark groups on the internet. For the authorities, it was reading the details of such groups and his participation in them that revealed his true intentions. He spoke about how he planned to kidnap, sedate and force himself upon the girl.
The Backpack
When the police made an arrest, they also scanned his place for any suspicious items. And they found the backpack he was found clutching in his hand when he went to meet the girl. The contents of the bag included two knives, a sedative, and a roll of duct tape. Even if they didn’t find the online details, these items were enough to keep him behind the bars.
The Trial
During his trial, Hewing’s online logs were presented to the judge. “From about September to November last year your chat logs reveal your pedophile tendencies and desires,” said Judge Michael Cullum. “You said, ‘I have a teen in mind but she needs to be kidnapped,'”, the judge added. And even though his plan was not successful, his intentions were severe enough to receive punishment.
