British Man Jailed For Buying ‘Pedophile’ Doll From Hong Kong #4
>A British man will be spending two years and eight months in prison after he was caught smuggling a sex doll that resembles a four-year-old girl.
>Andrew Dobson, a 49-year-old nuclear energy expert and a father of one, ordered the child-like “pedophile” doll from Hong Kong and had it shipped to the UK by mail, reports the BBC.
>The doll, which Dobson reportedly purchased from a HK-based sex toy firm for $200 (£157), got intercepted by Border Force officials at East Midlands Airport.
>Soon after, Dobson was charged with importation of an obscene item, a first case ever of its type in the UK.
>"I had the doll shown to me and it is disgusting to think that this type of item exists and can be bought and imported all over the world,”Judge Simon Berkson said during the sentencing, according to The Sun.
>The doll was revealed to be about 3.5 feet (105 cm) in height, aged between 3 years and 8 months to 6 years and 2 months, according to a doctor’s estimates.
>The court heard the sender of the package had tried to hide what is was.
>Dobson’s lawyer, Simon Parry, defended him by pointing out that the doll was “child size and not child like”.
>“He is ultimately ashamed of the situation he has got himself into and he is motivated to explore this offending behaviour and put it behind him,”Parry was quoted as saying.
