Antony Turner – Exeter

A serial offending paedophile from Exeter who claims his main problem is that ‘girls cannot resist him because he is so good looking’ is likely to be jailed for a fourth time next month.

Over the past decade, remorseless Antony Turner, aged 30 of Lower Coombe Street, Exeter has seen the inside of a prison cell on three occasions due to his prolific offending and grooming of young girls.

And now it is likely the pervert will be locked up again, after he was caught possessing and distributing child rape and torture videos and images of very young girls to other paedophiles online.

He pleaded guilty to that offence and other related sexual offences and will return to Exeter Crown Court on 12th January to be sentenced.

Turner was jailed in 2015 for arranging to meet a schoolgirl he met online and again in 2019 for a similar offence against a 12-year-old girl which he committed while he was supposed to be attending a Sex Offenders’ Treatment Programme.

And in 2023, he was jailed again after being exposed by an undercover police officer posing as a 13-year-old girl.

He has also breached various orders multiple times by not telling police about secret internet enabled mobile phones he had in his possession.

Turner once claimed that girls contact him because he is so good looking and that he cannot help all the attention he gets. He said that he wished he was ugly so girls would stop messaging him and throwing themselves at him.

Turner has been moved various times over the past decade and has lived in Exeter, Topsham, Torquay and Exmouth.

The pervert has never worked and spends a lot of his time loitering with sexual intent near kids parks and schools. The police have stated in the past that they simply cannot monitor him 24 hours a day, as they do not have the resources or manpower.
