A DEPRAVED predator who recruited vulnerable women to work for him as sex workers before filming vile attacks on them has been jailed for life.
Nicholas Moxham, 52, raped and sexually assaulted the six women, sometimes whilst they were asleep, and kept recordings of the sexual abuse.
He also admitted sexually assaulting young children at a Manchester school using his business to lure them in, before filming the sordid behaviour on a camera hidden beneath some leaves.
Following a trial, Moxham, of Heaton Chapel, Stockport, was jailed for life to serve a minimum of 22 years, in what senior crown prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service Claire Marsh described as 'the worst case of its kind that I have seen in my 24 years of prosecuting.
Moxham first came to the attention of the police in June 2020 when neighbours reported suspicious activity at his house. Agencies supporting sex workers in Manchester city centre also received concerns about a man called 'Nick' who was loitering outside homeless shelters and the 'red light' district.
It later became apparent that he had used the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020 to target the women, offering them to work from his home on Briarfield Road, making appointments with clients for them, and setting them up on a sex worker website. As the women were unable to get clients the usual way, he created profiles for them, and 'got them work'.
