A married Reverend father who asked a 13-year-old girl to rape her 9-year-old sibling has been sentenced to two years imprisonment.
Reverend James Ogley, 38, vicar at Saint Francis Church in Carteret Road, Luton, earlier pleaded guilty to seven charges of publishing obscene material.
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.
Ogley pretended to be a youngster and on one occasion during a conversation, claiming 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.
His marriage has fallen apart and he had lost his home and now he would be dismissed from the church, the court was told.
