A former Royal Navy sailor has been jailed for 14 years for a series of horrific child sex offences including the rape of a six-month-old baby.

Geoffrey Rooney, 39, of Plymouth, Devon, sent pictures of his abuse to other paedophiles via his mobile phone, Plymouth Crown Court heard.

The ex-chief petty officer would also joke online about being a paedophile.

He had admitted offences including rape of a child under 13 and two counts of sexual assault on a child under 13.

The court heard Rooney posted a running commentary via social media to other paedophiles of his abuse of one child.

Police were alerted on 9 January 2014 after the wife of another man found indecent images on her husband's phone.

Officers tracked the source of the photographs to Rooney.

Someone should just shank this guy in the stomach with the broken end of a plunger. How do you even do that to a baby and why the hell would you wanna? Eeeeeew.
 
OMG!!! Plymouth? Devon? UK?

That fucking turd lives in MY HOME TOWN!!!

And I serve a fair few naval officers in the large supermarket where I work. Don't recognise the face, but I cannot possibly remember everyone - so I could have served this cunt myself, chatted with him in a friendly way, TOUCHED his hand whilst returning change!!!!

Urgh, Excuse me whilst I go and throw up! :vomit:

And just 14 years - and believe me, Americans, that actually counts as a tough sentence here. Which is laughable. But a lot of paedos get a lot less.

Not going to use this as a platform for a death penalty debate in spite of my opinion that sick fucks like him are a waste of good oxygen. So I will settle for saying that the rape of young children should result in mandatory life without parole - or "full life tariff" as they call it here. Turds like this will always represent a danger to kids.
 
'Depraved' former Royal Navy man jailed for 14 years for sexually abusing young children

AN EX-Naval officer who admitted photographing young children as he sexually abused them, and then sending the images to other paedophiles, has been jailed for 14 years.

Geoffrey Rooney, aged 39, of Camperdown Street, Devonport, pleaded guilty to a string of offences including the rape of a child aged under 13 and sexually assaulting girl aged under 13.

Appearing at Plymouth Crown Court, Rooney made no response as Judge Paul Darlow told the former Chief Petty Officer he had caused the “destruction of a happy home life” in relation to the family of two of his victims.

He said that Rooney’s actions “demonstrate all the casual callous depravity of a predatory paedophile”.

As Rooney, dressed in a black suit, white shirt and grey tie, stood in the dock, prosecutor Jason Beale told the court how the former weapons engineer was arrested following the arrest of another man on January 9 last year whose wife found indecent pictures on his mobile phone.

The images were traced to Rooney who had asked the man to bring his own children to him for sexual abuse.

Rooney was interviewed and his mobile phone seized. The 39-year-old immediately admitted to his sexual interest in children and downloading indecent images of young children.

The court heard Rooney had pleaded guilty last May to raping a girl aged under 13, sexually assaulting another girl aged under 13, taking indecent photos of children, making indecent photos of children, distributing indecent photos of children with other suspected paedophile, sexually assaulting a boy aged under 16 and possessing indecent images of children.

Mr Beale explained how police discovered that Rooney had messaged other men “giving real time commentary” as he sexually abused one of the girls and sent nine pictures to dozens of men of him raping and sexually abusing the youngest child.

The court heard Rooney had also taken pictures of the backside of another very young boy and forwarded them onto other suspected paedophiles.

Police found hundreds of indecent photos and films on his mobile phone, ranging from category A, the most depraved including penetrative sexual activity with a child, including sadism and bestiality, to category C, the least indecent.

In mitigation, Nick Lewin, for Rooney, claimed his client was remorseful, but he questioned the current “harm” caused to the children due to their very young age.

In reply, Judge Darlow said: “For the moment, [but] who knows what may come back to haunt them.”

He also noted how Rooney had volunteered most of the offences to police, had no previous convictions and argued he should be credited for his “exemplary behaviour in service of the Royal Navy.”

Mr Lewin said Rooney had carried out a number of courses while in prison, and held a “very significant trusted position” as a “mentor” and “listener” to prison ‘lifers’.

He also said the offences – an “isolated aberration” – took place over a very short space of time and the judge could sentence Rooney “safe in the knowledge that these are isolated incidents”.

Sentencing Rooney, Judge Darlow said that “taken collectively, those actions demonstrate all the casual callous depravity of a predatory paedophile”.

He said the father “had the courage and grace” to read out his victim impact statement which revealed the “destruction of a happy home life”. He said each parent now “lives with the burden if either of the girls will find out or need to be told.”

He sentenced Rooney to 14 years for the rape, with the other offences carrying lesser sentences, to run concurrently.

He also made Rooney subject of a Sexual Offences Prevention Order, barred him from working with children or vulnerable adults, made him subject of a restraining order and sign on the Sex Offenders Register for life.

Rooney was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £120.

We hear so often of women who put their penis before their children. A few truly evil bitches even join the penis and share in his depravity. So it is so awesomely fantastic to see that this woman, without a moment's hesitation, went straight to the cops and blew the lid right off this. She remains anonymous, but well done whoever you are for doing the right thing by your kids. You deserve our respect and the utmost sympathy and understanding.

http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/Mum...ophile-tells/story-24648112-detail/story.html

But I have just had the most enormous WTF moment. Because within the article were these revelations......

"She is now going through a divorce from her husband who is now living in Devon with his new girlfriend.

Police say he accepted a caution for possession of indecent images of children and was placed on the Sex Offenders Register for two years."

Now hang on her a minute here. WTF???? He was only cautioned? No charges at all!!!? Fucking hell, everyone who pays a fine for speeding is being punished more severely than that! This guy got no penalty at all, in spite of not only possessing child porn, but knowing that the person sending these images was actively abusing kids and he said nothing. And I don't care if those images were unsolicited - a dubious claim anyway - he still kept them and reported nothing.

But not only that, he currently lives not far away in Devon WITH A NEW GIRLFRIEND!!! What the holy fuck? Does she not know about him? If not, why not? Does she have children herself? And if she does know the truth about him, what is she doing with the asshole?

But again, why is he still even free? All he got was an official telling off!!! For child porn and witholding information about a known paedophile and allowing him thereby to continue abusing children!!!

I am so pissed off right now. Incredibly, this has pissed me off even more thann the original crime in some ways.

I am thouroughly disgusted with the sheer patheticness of our British justice system. The law in my country is a fucking ass! I served a month behind bars for a driving offence. I know people who served six months for selling cannabis, and someone who spent four days inside for not having a a fucking TV licence! And people are regularly fined many hundreds of pounds for mere driving offences as well - and get jailed for not paying them. Yet we let cunts like this off with a mere telling off????

And on the Sex Offenders' Register for only two fucking years? Why not for the rest of his life? He's a fucking paedophile for fuck sake, not some drunk caught pissing in public!

This is so fucked up and stinks to high heaven.

I agree...
 
I was talking about the pitiful leniency shown to the woman's husband who had the pics on his phone, and knew about the naval officer's abuse yet did nothing, not the naval officer himself who got 14 years.
 
Wait. He's fucking FREE?!?!?!?! What in the actual FUCK?!?!?!

Yeah. But just to clarify, he is not the same guy who got 14 years, but a friend of his who recieved paedophile pics from him over a period of years and remained friends without reporting him. This was the guy whose wife reported him. He got just a telling off and only 2 years on the register - and already has a new girlfriend.

And yeah, he is free. British justice at it's most disgusting and pathetic.
 
I ran across this link while digging for additional info on the case...

So, what happened? Well Rooney was arrested following the arrest of another man whose wife had found indecent images of children on his mobile phone. Rooney had asked the man to make his children available for him to sexual abuse. It appears that Rooney had then abused the victims, recording some of the incidents on his mobile phone. The victim of the rape was 6 months old.

And yet the turd who made his own kids available only got an official telling off plus two years on the sex offenders register. What a fucking joke.

This is a sentence that should never have to be written. Victim of rape and 6 month old are terms that should never have to be in sentence together.

But since we don't live in utopia then what should be included after that is the sentence about the imposition of the death penalty for the rapist.
 
"In mitigation, Nick Lewin, for Rooney, claimed his client was remorseful, but he questioned the current “harm” caused to the children due to their very young age."

Did i just fucking read that this asshole attorney says basically its all good because they're too young to remember, care, whatever? What the ever lovin fuck? Somebody please rip this fucker apart along with his client. :rage: Grrrrr what a fucking douchebag!

No kidding. I stumbled on theneedlebog last night looking for info on the Rooney case. Check out this post on
Jeffrey Charles Goodwyn Protected By The UK Justice System. They released a child rapist on a very flimsy legal technicality after only serving two years and also decided to delete from search engine result images of Jeffrey Charles Goodwyn. LOL...all but one which I found and posted. Sorry but I think people have a right to know who the pedophiles are and where they live.

EDIT: It appears that the two children Rooney abused were not the children of the man whose wife discovered the indecent images on his mobile phone. Whilst Rooney asked the man to make his children available for him to abuse, it appears he did not do so, and the victims were two different children.

We’re not entirely sure of the facts of the offending, such as how many victims, how many instances of abuse, the period of time over which the offences were committed etc.

EDIT: It appears that there are at least three victims: a girl under 13 who was raped, another girl under 13 who was sexual assaulted and a boy under 16 who was sexually assaulted.
