A CONVICTED paedophile who posed as “Mistress Sarah” on the internet so he could watch the sexual abuse of young children is behind bars awaiting a long jail sentence.

Samraj Kundi pleaded guilty at Bradford Crown Court to 12 charges of intentionally arranging or facilitating the commission of a child sexual offence.

Kundi, 29, who is being held in HMP Leeds, committed the offences between 2016 and 2018 in breach of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order issued at Leeds Crown Court four years ago for distributing indecent images of children.

Kundi, then of Woodcot Avenue, Baildon, was jailed for two years and ordered to register as a sex offender for ten years for sending horrific images of child abuse to other paedophiles.

During that case, the court heard that one photo showed a naked nine-year-old girl tied to a bench being molested.

Prosecutor Michael Smith said the sick images distributed by Kundi were among a collection of 350 films and images discovered on his computer equipment.

Some of those found which had not been shared involved the abuse of babies.

Among the 350 images and films that were seized, 212 were rated as Category A the most serious.

That included images of babies as young as two or three months. Some extreme pornography involving animals was also found.

Kundi admitted sending ten to 15 images to other people, including the sadomasochistic images of the nine-year-old girl and another said to involve a young girl molested by a clown.

He accepted he had sought out the material for sexual gratification.

He also admitted talking to others with a similar interest on the internet or in chatrooms and distributing some of the images to them.

Kundi admitted three charges of distributing movies or images, 11 of possessing indecent images and three of having extreme images.

Today, Kundi’s barrister, Gerald Hendron, asked the court to adjourn sentence for a full probation report.

Mr Hendron said his client had relevant previous convictions dating from 2015 and was in breach of the Sexual Harm Prevention Order made at that hearing.

Mr Hendron said Kundi had been remanded in custody since last September. He made no application for bail.

The Recorder of Bradford, Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QC, adjourned the case until May 31.

He asked the probation service to assess the level of danger Kundi posed to children in the future.

It is believed that Kundi, posing as “Mistress Sarah,” opened an internet room to invite the abuse of children on a live stream.

The full facts of the case will be opened by the prosecution when he is sentenced.
