A paedophile, Gerrard Charnley who kept a diary where he listed children he wanted to rape "some day very soon" has been jailed.

He declared in the twisted journal he was "proud to be a paedophile" as he wrote in horrific detail his depraved desires.

The 52-year-old wrote in his "My Paedophile Diary" the names of children he wanted to rape alongside the dates he wanted to carry out the attacks.

In one disturbing entry dated in June 2019, Charnley wrote: "I want to r@pe [girl's name] some day very soon. I'm proud to say this as a p@edophile."

The secret memoir was unearthed by officers when they raided his home in Coronation Drive, Widnes, on February 27 2024 where they seized a total of 12 electronic devices.

Charnley had collected so many child @buse pictures and videos that the police were unable to count just how many files he had downloaded.

He this week appeared at Liverpool crown court where he was jailed for 14 months and was handed a 10-year sexual harm prevention order.

Charnley was also told to sign the sex offenders' register for the next decade.

He nodded when he was told he would be going to prison and told the judge as he left the dock: "I'm guilty. I'm sorry, ok.'

Thank God he did not have the opportunity to defile those innocent children. Some people are mentally unbalanced and should be in a psychiatric hospital. It is totally unacceptable to allow such beast to cohabit with normal human beings.

How were people like this allowed to get to this level of mental derangement. I just wish society can completely be purged of this kind of people.

Some people are just mentally sick. We just need to be careful with people we come in contact with

He was a nut. How could there be people like him demonic. He can never escape the law. God is always watching. He's already old but still having carnal desires.

This is just sick on so many levels, some persons are not humans honestly. Thank God he was caught on time.
