Woman, 19, who was paid to groom 'depraved' child rapist's vulnerable victims as young as 12 and help sexually abuse them sobs in court as evil pair are jailed for more than 13 years in total

A young woman who was paid to groom a 'depraved' child rapist's vulnerable victims and help sexually abuse them over a two-year period sobbed in court as the sick pair were jailed for a total of more than 13 years.

Angel Fuller, 19, willingly assisted Tristan Goodwin in attacking children as young as 12, a court heard.

Goodwin, 24, committed sex offences with a child on at least three occasions between May 2021 and January 2022 after Fuller had arranged for them to meet with him. The woman later took another child to meet Goodwin, who went on to rape them.

The pair, both from Chatham, Kent, were eventually caught and arrested last May and have now both been jailed after admitting to their 'appalling' offences at Maidstone Crown Court.

Around 2,000 'damning' messages sent between Fuller and Goodwin in as little as three months detailed 'a variety of arrangements for sexual activity'. They showed Fuller not only acted at the 'behest' of Goodwin but that she also instigated conversations about girls she could manipulate for him, the court was told.

Following their arrests, police found details under what was called 'Angel Earn List' setting out prices for various sex acts, including what Fuller was paid for sex and a second set of figures to be paid to other girls plus her cut.

Over a period of 16 months between January 2021 and the day of the rape in May last year, the warehouse operative paid Fuller almost £5,000 for 'sexual contacts and arranging sexual contacts', the court heard. One girl was paid a total of £915 over several months and the other £440.

Goodwin was jailed for eight-and-a-half years, while Fuller was imprisoned for four-and-a-half years.

Investigating officers had additionally discovered that Goodwin had also groomed two children in 2020 after making contact with them on social media. Officers found he had persuaded the 'young, vulnerable' children to send him indecent images and meet him on occasions when he sexually assaulted them.

Goodwin was charged with raping a child, two counts of arranging the commission of a child sex offence, two counts of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, two counts of paying for the sexual services of a child and possession of indecent images.

Fuller, meanwhile, was charged with aiding and abetting the rape of a child and two counts of arranging the commission of a child sex offence.

Goodwin will serve a further four years on licence under terms of an extended sentence.

Both have also been made the subject of sexual harm prevention orders and were added to the Sex Offenders' Register for life.

Investigating officer at Kent Police, Detective Constable Grant Broad, outlined the 'lasting' consequences of the pair's actions on their young victims' lives.

He said: 'Goodwin and Fuller worked together to target young, vulnerable victims.

'Their depraved actions will leave a lasting impact on the victims' lives.

'I wish to commend the courage of these vulnerable victims in supporting this investigation and ensuring a dangerous predator has been held to account for his appalling actions.

'If anyone has been a victim of any sexual offence it is never too late to report this to the police.

'We will always treat any information with the utmost confidence and sensitivity.'
