Paedophile’s cover story exposed after police recognise his phone’s ringtone

A paedophile’s attempt to get out of being snared by police failed when his mobile phone rang in his home, after telling cops he had sold it.
Leon Clark tried to sell officers a story that he no longer owned the mobile which connected him to the case detectives had been working on.
However, Clark’s lies were exposed when police rang the number only for them to find it stashed behind a radiator in his house during a search.
Horrific images of young children being sexually abused were recovered on the device, leading to Clark’s arrest.
The 46-year-old denied downloading indecent images of children and claimed he had sold his mobile.
The raid on Clark’s home in Wirral took place in June 2021 after his email address and phone number were linked to the property, according to Liverpool Echo.
Ken Grant, prosecuting, said dozens of indecent images of children were recovered when it was examined, the most serious involving the abuse of a little girl of around three-years-old.
Liverpool Crown Court heard Clark had 39 convictions for 88 offences - including being jailed for two years in 2010 for sexually assaulting a girl under 13, and for downloading indecent images of children.
His convictions also include repeatedly failing to comply with the requirements of the Sexual Offences Register.
Clark, of Lingdale Road North, Birkenhead, pleaded guilty to possessing a total of 58 indecent images on the day of the raid and three offences of making indecent images of children in the previous three months.
Jason Smith, defending, said his client’s previous offences of non-compliance with the Sex Offenders Register related to homelessness but that he now had a more settled lifestyle and the ability to comply with court orders.

Kathy Griffin says CNN's Jeff Zucker slashed her pay after asking for a raise as co-host of NYE special
Comedian and actress Kathy Griffin claimed CNN president Jeff Zucker slashed her pay after she had asked for a raise as co-host of the network's New Year's Eve special. In a profile published Wednesday in The New York Times, Griffin recalled reaching out to Zucker ten days before the broadcast in 2016 and told him she felt she deserved more than her $80,000 contract since "she was carrying more of the prep work" than her co-host, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. According to Griffin, Zucker "got very offended." "He started yelling at me and he literally said something like, ‘Who do you think you are calling here demanding a raise?’ And then something came over me. And I just lost it.
