A former Radio One DJ who arranged to have sex with vulnerable children in the Philippines has been jailed for 12 years.
Mark Page was guilty of “grotesque sexual abuse” of children as young as 12, the judge said.
The 63-year-old divorced father-of-three from Stockton, Teesside, was convicted of four counts of arranging the commission of a child sex offence between 2016 and 2019.
Two charges related to contact he had via webcam from his home, while two happened during frequent trips to the Philippines.
Page denied all offences but failed to convince a jury his devices had been hacked.
One victim, a waitress then aged 13, has been traced and now lives in a place of safety, Teesside Crown Court heard.
The paedophile ex-DJ will also be subject to life-long Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
