"He randomly added their profiles suggested to him by the mutual friends feature before following up with a message saying, Sorry I think I have the wrong person. Once in conversation, Viccars would build trust with the girls by pretending that he was a teacher. He suggested meeting up with the young women who were then pressured into sex in Romford, Essex, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire and another address in Northamptonshire."
"The pervert referred to one as as his little girl in a sick voice note recovered by police. At Snaresbrook Crown Court on Thursday, Viccars, of Shackleton Place, Oldbrook, Milton Keynes, was jailed for 14 years with a further three on extended licence. He pleaded guilty to 16 counts, including sexual communications with a child, grooming, and inciting or engaging in sexual activity."
Gareth Viccars used Snapchat and the mutual friends feature to randomly add teenage girls before initiating contact with a misleading message. He built trust by pretending to be a teacher and called himself Daddy while exchanging voice notes and coercing three 15-year-old girls into sexual activity at addresses in Romford, Huntingdon and Northamptonshire between November 2021 and October 2022. Viccars pleaded guilty to 16 counts including sexual communications with a child, grooming, and inciting or engaging in sexual activity. He was jailed for 14 years with a further three years on extended licence and placed on the sex offenders' register for life. Police suspect many more victims and have appealed for anyone affected to come forward.
