An ‘out of control’ paedophile police constable who raped a 13-year-old girl in the back of his car has been jailed for 25 years.

Ian Naude, 30, who had an ‘insatiable appetite’ for preying on young girls, was convicted following a trial of the rape and sexual assault of the girl who he met while serving as a student police officer with Cheshire Police.

Liverpool Crown Court heard Naude, who was sentenced for a total of 37 offences, joined the force in April 2017 and was obsessed with taking the virginity of teenage girls who he groomed online.

He first met his rape victim in October last year when he was called to a domestic incident at her home and days later picked her up in his car and raped her in the back seat, filming the assault on his phone.

Sentencing him on Thursday to 25 years in prison with an extended licence period of five years, honorary recorder of Liverpool Judge Clement Goldstone QC said: ‘In order to impose your will on a young girl, three weeks past her 13th birthday, and to commit offences of rape and sexual assault against her, you used and abused your position as a Cheshire Police officer, thereby enabling you to satisfy your lust and perversion.’

Naude, wearing a grey suit and burgundy tie, was ordered to pay attention by the judge as he looked down at a folder of evidence while he was sentenced.

Judge Goldstone told him: ‘Having seen and heard you during the trial, I am wholly persuaded that you do not, even now, have any inkling or appreciation of the extent of your perversion or of the psychological harm and damage you have caused.’

He said Naude, of Market Drayton, Shropshire, was ‘out of control’ with an ‘insatiable appetite’ for young girls and described a selfie he took after raping his victim as showing his ‘smug self satisfaction and total lack of shame’.

Naude, who was based at Crewe police station, had denied rape, telling the jury the sex was consensual.

In a statement read to the court, her mother said the victim would no longer leave the house without close family and friends.

She said: ‘She will no longer walk past the local police station and hides when a police car drives past.’

Other parents said their daughters had gone on to self-harm after being groomed online by Naude, who would blackmail and threaten his victims.

Naude, who was suspended and dismissed by Cheshire Police following his arrest, was also found guilty by a jury of four charges of attempting to arrange commission of a child sex offence and one charge of arranging commission of a child sex offence.

He pleaded guilty to 30 other offences, including inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, making indecent photos of children and misconduct in a public office.
