Sick paedo hits himself in court docket as ‘increase child intercourse’ plan is revealed
A despicable paedophile hit himself in court as his fantasy about having sex with a baby was exposed.
Elliot Tasker admitted: “I’m f*****” when he was apprehended for possessing and distributing thousands of indecent images of children.
Tasker, 20, was exposed after authorities were alerted that an Instagram account associated with him had uploaded inappropriate images of children. Prosecutor Jordan Millican informed Leeds Crown Court on Wednesday, September 23, that Tasker had also utilised various social media platforms to discuss their intentions with other predators.
He told the court: “On the 12th of March 2026, police attended at the defendant’s home address following intelligence from the NCA [National Crime Agency] that an Instagram account linked to a subscriber’s email in the defendant’s name had uploaded indecent images of a child.
“At 11pm, police attended Armitage Street in Huddersfield for a warrant. The defendant was arrested and was transported to custody. He said, ‘I’m f***** aren’t I? I know it, I am. I never do anything.'”.
After confiscating and examining several devices from Tasker’s residence, including two Samsung mobile phones, an Alcatel phone and a laptop, officers discovered a vast collection of indecent images of children, reports Yorkshire Live.
Mr Millican revealed there were 51 images at category A, 48 at category B and 46 at category C, as well as 1,773 prohibited images of children and 33 extreme pornographic images. It was reported that some of the images found included cartoons and AI images.
Mr Millican stated: “Illegal material had been sent and received and distributed through Discord, Zangi and Instagram and a series of file-sharing links.
“There was evidence of a sexual interest in child and the report highlights a number of conversations between the defendants and other users…In those, he describes obtaining child abuse material, sexual attraction to children, requesting material involving younger children and babies, expressing fantasies concerning sexual activity with a child and opportunities to obtain further indecent material.”
The court was told about one particularly disturbing conversation, where Tasker informed another user: “For real, if it was a baby they won’t remember anything you do to them and young kids can perhaps be put to sleep with sleeping meds…Take good care and make sure there are no cameras about then boom baby sex.”
Appearing via a video link from HMP Doncaster, Tasker could be seen cradling his head in his hands, hitting himself and rocking back and forth as Mr Millican read out the horrifying details of his conversations. The conversation continued, with Tasker writing: “If all goes well, you get paid for having sex with her kids.”
In another exchange, Tasker engaged in sexual communication with a user who identified themselves as a child, stating: “It doesn’t matter if you’re a child.”
Mr Millican explained that Tasker was not charged with any communication offence as it was unclear whether the user was actually a child.
The court was told that Tasker had also searched terms hoping to access indecent material, including: “Child abuse material” and “bestiality.”
He had also repeatedly accessed a mega-folder containing 200 illegal files, which had been viewed 41 separate times in just one single day.
Before hearing from defence barrister Lily Wildman, His Honour Judge Simon Batiste told the court: “The pre-sentence report is worrying.”
Ms Wildman said: “You will, of course, know one of the difficulties of this case is a non-custodial alternative has not been able to be proposed by the Probation Service.
“He has been in a consistent degree of stress, when he was, in particular, hearing the nature of the conversations and what some of the images depict. While of course you have read the pre-sentence report, one of the first things that the defendant said to me is that he will never forgive himself for what he has done and his family and friends will never forgive him for what he has done either.
“He is an isolated and socially introverted individual and describes himself as being in a white box going mental since being in custody, but has reached out to the prison chaplain and sought out religion and has asked for forgiveness.
“He has never shied away from accepting what he has actually done. When he was arrested, since that arrest, he has always known he has done something wrong and has accepted it, not tried to hide from it in any way, which is unusual in these cases.”
Judge Batiste sentenced Tasker to two years in prison and imposed a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order on him.
