Michael Williams, 37, pleaded guilty in June this year to a total of seven indecent assaults against two teenagers

One of Britain's most notorious paedophiles who groomed up to 1,000 victims on his postman round and online is back in prison today for abusing two girls and viewing child porn.

Michael Williams, 37, admitted attacking two underage teenagers in historic attacks and looked at a number of abuse images and videos since he was released from jail in 2017, Truro Crown Court heard.

Williams had previously been jailed for using his contact with children on his daily post route in Cornwall to find victims and also used eight social media accounts with false names to share pictures of himself with Sir Alex Ferguson and Ryan Giggs to try to groom others.

The paedeophile was jailed for eight years in 2010 after he tricked victims into performing sex acts on a webcam or to meet him in parks, beaches and at his home in Penryn, Cornwall, where he abused them.

Cops found eight false website profiles and pictures of him as a youngster with Giggs and manager Ferguson and he served an eight year jail term.

Williams began his internet offending in 2005 when he started to groom youngsters he met during his postal rounds, taxi routes and at Falmouth Town Football Club.

He was working at the club as a secretary and set up video cameras in the showers where he filmed adults aged 18 to 25.

Williams was arrested in November 2009 when various children came forward to police saying they had been assaulted.

Police searched his flat and found 1,342 indecent images of children, 20 videos featuring children he met on the internet and 800 ‘chat logs’.

Then in June this year he pleaded guilty to a total of seven indecent assaults against two teenage girls.

All of the assaults took place between 1999 and 2002, before the offences for which he was sentenced in 2010. The victims were both aged under 16 at the time.
