Possessed paedophile manual and operated equipment beneath a womans clothes for his own pleasure.

A man with a paedophile manual who operated equipment beneath a woman's clothes for his own pleasure has been sentenced to prison.

Tristan Clamp, 33, was sentenced at Southampton Crown Court to four and a half years for shocking sex offences against women and girls.

The disgraced pervert was convicted of offences spanning more than 10 years, including taking and possessing indecent photographs / pseudo photographs of a child, voyeurism, operating equipment beneath the clothing of another without their consent, and possession of a paedophile manual.

The offences occurred between January 2010 and August 2021.

Sentencing Clamp, the judge said: "You are a deceitful and deviant offender. The paedophile manual is an abominable document. The indecent images are horrendous images of abuse. I have great doubts as to whether your remorse is genuine and I agree with the victim, who states your deceit was ongoing for many years."

Responding to a letter Clamp had written for the court, the judge said: "In my judgement, your letter to the court smacks of self-pity and regret and is entirely self-serving."

The judge went on to thank and praise the victim for reading her victim personal statement in court, describing her as courageous and having suffered severe psychological harm as a result of Clamp's actions.

As well as the time he will now spend behind bars, Clamp, of Northfield Road, Ringwood, must also serve a total extended licence period of seven and a half years. He will also be subject to restraining orders and an indefinite sexual harm prevention order. Forfeiture orders are in place for all of his devices containing illegal material.
