A predatory paedophile who tried to talk a teenage boy into becoming his live-in sex toy - just days after being given a “single chance” to stop offending - has avoided jail again.

Sean Doncaster walked free from court for a second time on Thursday (December 8) despite pleading guilty to inciting the boy to engage in sexual activity, possessing child pornography and breaching his Sexual Offences Prevention Order.

The unemployed 19-year-old was banned from contacting children over the internet at Kingston Crown Court in July after offering a 12-year-old boy £350 and an iPod if he posed in his underwear for him over a webcam.

But Doncaster was caught again just seven days later when a teenage girl using her Xbox to play games online recognised his name after reading about his crime in the Wimbledon Guardian.

When police raided his home in Morden they discovered a string of sexual conversations Doncaster had with a 14-year-old boy using his Xbox games console.

The child told police the conversations started off normally but soon became “weird” and “rude”, although he played along for a while as he thought it was a joke.

Croydon Crown Court heard Doncaster asked the boy to go on camera with him and assumed it was just so he could see what he looked like, but he quickly realised the older teenager “wanted more”.

Doncaster asked to see the child naked, said we wanted to have sex with him and offered to buy him things and meet him on "a date".

Judge Ruth Downing, sentencing, told Doncaster he had disappointed a lot of people who had argued for him during his court appearance last year, and explained he was “teetering on the edge of a cliff”.

She said: “I’m going to be merciful and I’m going to give you a very big second and maybe final chance.

She told Doncaster, of Kirksted Road, his original Sexual Offences Prevention Order would continue alongside a new order requiring him to complete 120 hours of unpaid work within the next two years.

His original order banned from using the Internet on computers without a history facility and from using a webcam, social networking sites, Internet game sites or instant messaging services to contact children under 16 unless they are a family member.
