A predatory paedophile who fantasised about having a baby he could sexually abuse has been jailed for four years.

Robin Malka, 38, from Clapham, concocted a vile plan with other paedophiles to "breed" a daughter which he could abuse at will.

The personal trainer was arrested on November 13 last year in Mile End during a raid by the Met's Paedophile Unit after he placed an advert on an internet forum seeking other paedophiles to help him sexually abuse young children.

He pleaded guilty to arranging the commission of a child sex offence for which he was sentenced to four years imprisonment.

Malka also admitted possessing and distributing indecent images of children, which he received a 12 month and two year jail term respectively.

The sentences will all run concurrently meaning he will serve four years but is required to serve a minimum of three years before being eligible for parole.

Malka was placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register until further notice and was granted a Sexual Offences Prevention Order for life.

Speaking outside Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday, Detective Constable Stephanie Curtis said: "I hope this case will demonstrate our determination to catch dangerous paedophiles and bring them to justice while encouraging victims of sexual predators to contact the police."
