A man from Tipton who preyed on young boys by sexually abusing and filming them, has been jailed for seven years and five months at Wolverhampton Crown Court.

35 year-old Stuart Langford, from Cherry Road, targeted vulnerable young boys, offering them money and gifts in order to control and sexually abuse them.

He was placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life and issued with a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which restricts his contact with anyone under the age of 16.

Langford was arrested in July last year after one of the boys that he’d targeted came forward to speak to police.
