Andrew Dobson Tries to Import Childlike Sex Doll to Uk

Dobson ordered a sex doll from Hong Kong but it was unfortunately seized at the airport. The incident led to a one of a kind prosecution that has not been witnessed in Britain.

The 49-year-old man has been sentenced at Chester Crown Court on Friday to two years and eight months behind bars after pleading guilty to importing an indecent object, two counts of making indecent images of children and one count of possessing indecent images of children.

Cheshire police revealed that the court was informed about how Dobson triggered an investigation at the East Midlands airport on the 23rd of September.

The fast parcel joint border intelligence unit, which directs the Border Force officers identified a parcel labeled as a mannequin, but which was found to contain an obscene childlike doll.

The parcel was addressed to Dobson and had been purchased from Hong Kong. The package was immediately withheld and officers from Cheshire Constabulary notified.

Dobson was arrested at his home and following a search of indecent images of children were found on his computer. During his interview, Dobson admitted buying the doll to use for sex and for his own sexual gratification. He also admitted downloading child abuse images and movies online.

DC Andy Kent, of Cheshire constabulary’s pedophile and cyber-investigation unit, said: “Knowing child sex dolls exist and are available for sex offenders to buy is sickening.

Border Force’s Julian Doughty, a senior manager at the fast parcel joint border intelligence unit, said: “The Border Force detection at East Midlands airport was the vital first step in the identification and conviction of an individual who was found to be involved in other serious offenses against children.

Hazel Stewart, from the National Crime Agency (NCA) child exploitation and online protection specialist operation team, said that the dolls are most often imported from China and Hong Kong and the sellers intentionally label the parcels as something else in an attempt to ensure they defeat checks.
