Gurpreet Singh 25

Description

Jailed for four and a half years at Wolverhampton Crown Court on 4 August 2026 for one count of sexual communication with a child, three counts of causing a child to watch a sexual act and one count of arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sex offence.

Gurpreet Singh, 25, of Wolverhampton, was jailed after telling an undercover officer he “loved” schoolboys. He was caught in a police sting after messaging what he believed was a 14-year-old gay boy online.

Over weeks of conversations, Singh asked “shall we meet and have fun?”, admitted “I like youngsters”, sent explicit videos and suggested a hotel meeting. When told the decoy’s age he replied “I love under-18 boys” and, after the profile claimed inexperience, boasted “I have experience with virgins”.

Judge Jonathan Gosling described Singh as “gently grooming his target” but expressed “doubts that he would have had the gall to carry it through”.

Singh was also made subject to a 10-year sexual harm prevention order and must remain on the sex offenders register indefinitely.
