A cricklewood paedophile has been jailed for Felipe Du, of Mascott’s Close, will spend the rest of his life on the sex offender’s register after being sentenced at Harrow Crown Court on Friday.
The 68-year-old pervert had pretentiously offered to help out two families with after-school childcare when they all lived in Harlesden. Instead, he molested his two victims in front of other children by making it look like a game, the court heard. Du pleaded guilty to nine counts of indecent assault. He was given three years for counts one to four, four years for counts six to eight and six years for count nine, all to serve concurrently with an extra year on licence.
Christopher Stimpson, prosecuting, told the court that the first child was seven when he started abusing her in 1985 which only stopped when the family moved away three years later. The second victim, in 1992, was 12, with the abuse “worsening over time”. It is amazing that it took 12 years for his victims to obtain any kind of justice. Most victims of paedophilia are so damaged by the experience that they do not discuss their awful experience for years.

The victim was too numb and scared to speak out in front of others, and her cries for him to stop were ignored when they were alone. After the case the woman told reporters “I’m relieved but I know it’s not over by a long shot. He stole my innocence. I feel quite aggrieved. I don’t think he’s remorseful, remorse is admitting it in the first place. To deny deny deny…The other person came forward in 2016 and still he denied it. He only pleaded guilty a week before the trial in June. I believe it was a tactic, not remorse. It was so he would get a 25 per cent reduction on his sentence.”
Hoping that other victims of abuse speak out she added: “I told my mum when I was 15 and she confronted him and he admitted it but the tape recorder was in her bag and muffled what he was saying.
“I hope this encourages victims to come forward. Many are afraid of not being believed or are threatened and told not to say anything.” Paedophiles are a cancer to society and ruin lives by exploiting naive young children.
