Sex fiend teen jailed after he needed personal mum to look at movies of his ‘tiny’ penis

A sex fiend teenager has been jailed after he wanted his mum to watch videos of his “tiny” penis. Rio Thomas, 19, targeted a woman on Facebook before sending her a video of him carrying out a lone sex act.

But he then repeatedly asked the stranger to send the video to his own mum because she would like to see his “tiny” penis. A court heard Thomas had a mutual friend with the victim on the social media site and started messaging her with “small talk.”

Prosecutor Alexandra Wilson said the messages quickly turned sexual as Thomas told the stranger he wanted to rip her clothes off.

Mr Wilson said the woman thought the messages were becoming “strange” and ignored them before she received the explicit footage. She then alerted police who arrested Thomas just weeks after he had been released from prison for sending sexual videos to a child on Snapchat.

The court heard officers seized his phone in Swansea, South Wales, before discovering he had deleted the messages. Thomas, of Swansea, pleaded guilty to breach of a sexual harm prevention order and to sending a picture or video of genitals to cause alarm or distress.

It comes after he was previously jailed for 28 months in August last year for sending videos of himself masturbating to a child via Snapchat. Defending Dan Griffiths said there was an element of Thomas wanting to “shock” the woman.

Judge Huw Rees said the references he made to his mother watching the videos he sent his victim were concerning. He said if Thomas thought he was being some kind of “big man” he was “very wrong”.

Thomas was sentenced to one year and four months ordered to sign the sex offenders register for the next 10 years. The Sex Offenders Register is a database of people convicted of certain sexual offences.

It is a set of legal notification requirements rather than a physical “register”, and it requires offenders to keep police informed of key personal details so they can be monitored in the community. Offenders must usually attend a police station within three days of being convicted or released from prison to register.
