Who is Paige Poole? Babysitter laughed while sexually abusing toddler, sent clip of crime to pedophile lover
A babysitter and her pedophile lover were jailed for a total of 24 years after she sexually abused a toddler before sending the video to her lover. The woman, identified as Paige Poole, and her boyfriend, Ross Kingsland, from Exeter were found guilty of their crimes. The latter was caught by undercover police and Poole turned herself in saying she was his lover.
Talking about the duo, Judge David Evans said, "Each chose the path they took together. Each chose to plan and enact their deviant desires - a true meeting of wicked minds. They each derived sexual gratification from it." A US Sun Report said Kingsland had admitted to 12 sex offences against children and was sentenced to 11 years.

Who is Paige Poole?
Another serial sex offender, Poole admitted to 20 sex offences against children, and in this case, she abused an 18-month-old girl up to eight times. She was jailed for "multiple abhorrent offences" and she was sentenced to 13 years. Her relationship with Kingsland was pretty satanic so to speak as he called her "The Dark Angel" and used black heart emojis and the sign of the devil while interacting on an extreme festish website where they met.
The site also added that Paige was an American woman in London. After being arrested, the police found evidence of sexual abuse in both their phones. Prior to Kingsland's arrest at his Exeter home, Poole had visited his wife to say she was his girlfriend. Poole and her lover were slapped with the Sex Offenders' register for life and given a 20 year Sexual Harm Prevention Order. The report also added Poole was seen naked and laughing in the videos she made while abusing the 18-month-old girl.
Poole and Kingsland were caught after a police officer impersonated as a moyther of two daughters and offered them for sexual abuse on a site—'They Grow Up So Fast.' The victims' familes slammed the duo labeling them "dangerous, callous and contrived." Poole and her lover will serve two-thirds of their term before even being considered for release. According to The Daily Mail, Evans said: "You were both adults who knew what you were doing each and every step of the way. Each chose to plan and enact their deviant desires. This was a true meeting of wicked minds. The bald truth is that each of you is a morally corrupt pedophile and it was the great misfortune of others that you found each other. You have deliberately and together caused the most awful distress to a good number of people. You have destroyed the lives of individuals and families concerned."
After their sentencing, senior investigating officer Detective Inspector Si Costin called them as "dangerous." He said: "Kingsland and Poole are two very dangerous individuals who abused a child and brought misery to families. I would like to pay tribute to the bravery of the families who have given their statements in person explaining just how this has impacted on them. I really hope that they can start to move forward now that Kingsland and Poole have been sentenced."
