A Church of England vicar who told a 13-year-old girl to sexually abuse her nine-year-old sister during an online chat has been jailed for just two years.
Reverend James Ogley, a married father of two young children, told the teenager he wanted her and her sister to have sex with their own mother.In another online exchange, he told the teenager to rape her younger sibling.
Police officers discovered the clergyman's communications when they went to the vicarage in Luton, Bedfordshire, where he lived with his family and seized his laptop computer from his study.
Ogley had been a regular visitor to the chat room for youngsters, deriving sexual gratification from the chat logs,
Passing sentence, Judge David Farrell QC told him:
'What you did was totally incompatible with the beliefs and teachings of a vicar. You are there to uphold and further Christian beliefs.You were and still are the vicar of St Francis Church here in Luton. You have let down all those who looked up to you as the holder of a respected office.
According to Mailonline, the court was told he had lost everything following his fall from grace. His marriage had fallen apart, he had lost his home and now he would be dismissed from the church.
Ogley himself had pretended to be a youngster and on one occasion during a conversation claimed he was a 14-year-old boy from Ireland.When interviewed by detectives, Ogley admitted he had been sexually aroused while having the online conversations, but he said he had never arranged to meet anyone
