BILD: The depraved rapist who used and abused women and is now serving a life sentence

Theo

It was a case that shocked even the toughest police officers and prosecutors.

Such a depraved man that he used and abused women for his own gratification. He made money from the weak and exploited them when they had no one else to turn to.




It was during the COVID lockdown that Nicholas Moxham first began targeting women – often sex workers – in homeless shelters and areas where he suspected they were.

He offered them a job with him, then arranged their appointments with clients and kept the money for himself. He then filmed them without their knowledge and even filmed himself raping and sexually abusing the women.


When police searched his home in Stockport, they found a disturbing amount of images and videos, as well as indecent images of children.

On Friday, July 12, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. He must serve a minimum of 22 years before the parole board can consider his release.

He is one of those jailed in Greater Manchester this week. The worst criminals are being sentenced to prison and MEN reporters are on the ground to cover the most serious cases.

A depraved sex offender who recruited vulnerable women as sex workers and then filmed heinous attacks on them has been sentenced to life in prison.

Nicholas Moxham, 52, raped and abused the six women, sometimes while they slept, and took footage of the sexual abuse. He also admitted sexually abusing young children at a school in Manchester, using his business to lure them, before filming the sickening behaviour on a camera hidden under some leaves.

Following a trial, Moxham, of Heaton Chapel, Stockport, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 22 years. Crown Prosecution Service senior prosecutor Claire Marsh said: “This is the worst case of its kind that I have seen in my 24 years as a prosecutor.”

A serial fraudster has been jailed after forging visas to allow immigrants to seek work illegally in the European Union.

Eisa Talal, 60, had the fake documents made for one person, even though he knew that person had no right to work in the EU. He was also involved in arranging a Greek ID card that would enable another person to take up work.

Another man involved in the plot, 50-year-old Ahmed Shammari, had made contacts with people who could forge the items. He claimed he knew some people needed identification papers to work in the UK and said he had “agreed to help them”.

Talal, of Warnford Close, Newton Heath, was sentenced to 28 months in prison. Shammari, of Mazenod Avenue, Camden, was sentenced to 20 months in prison.

An American drug courier who was stopped at Manchester Airport with 36 kilos of cannabis in suitcases told officers: “It should have been clothes, brother.”

Shawn Ross, 28, had travelled from his home in California to Charlotte, USA, and then on to Madrid before being stopped in Manchester in April this year. He had already travelled to Manchester once less than a month earlier and Border Protection officials were concerned because the trips were so close together.

He was stopped and arrested. He told officers he planned to stay in Manchester for two nights and then travel on to London to visit friends. However, concerns grew when he said he had no plans to travel on.

Ross also said he only had one piece of hand luggage and one suitcase in the hold, but further investigations found two hard-shell suitcases with his name on them, Manchester Crown Court heard.

The black hard case contained 33 vacuum-sealed cannabis packets, while the red case contained 37. There were 70 packets in total, and the total weight of the drugs was 36.4 kilograms. The value is said to be around £6,000 per kilogram, so the estimated total value was £200,000.

When questioned by officers, he said, “It should have been clothes, brother.” He was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

A major drug trafficker has been jailed. Dean Cooper, 51, sold £3.68 million worth of cocaine, £900,000 worth of heroin and other drugs including ketamine, amphetamine and 50kg of cannabis resin in his major criminal operation.

He was finally brought to justice thanks to Operation Venetic, a long-running investigation into communications between criminals on EncroChat. For years, the completely legal EncroChat service allowed 50,000 users around the world – including 9,000 in the UK – to communicate without knowing that their messages would be discovered by law enforcement.

This ended when investigators broke into EncroChat’s server in Roubaix, northern France, in April 2020 and sent fake updates to devices around the world, effectively mining the incriminating data that the criminals were so keen to hide.

Cooper, who flooded Manchester with drugs, is the latest criminal to be brought to justice. He used the name Berrystar on EncroChat.

Cooper was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
