Predator worker admits 30 MORE sex crimes after police find ‘horror film’ stash on 69 devices
By SCM Staff Writer
A PREDATORY ex-nursery worker is facing a long stretch behind bars today after admitting to a “staggering” new catalogue of sex crimes.
Twisted Vincent Chan, 45, pleaded guilty to 30 further offences—including sexual assault and voyeurism—as detectives continue to unpick one of the Met’s “most complex” child abuse probes ever.
The Finchley-based creep had already admitted 26 charges last month, but his web of depravity grew even darker as specialist cops trawled through a mountain of digital evidence.
Hidden Cameras
Detectives seized a massive haul of 69 devices from Chan, uncovering a sickening archive of “upskirting” videos and covert footage.
The court heard how Chan:
SPYED on children using hidden cameras at a North London school where he worked for a decade.
FILMED himself performing sex acts at the educational site.
PLANTED “spy cams” around his own home to catch victims changing in private.
RECORDED himself sexually assaulting a woman while she slept.
The latest charges involve 16 victims, including 10 children. Distractingly, police admit they are still working to identify more people targeted by the predator.
’Abhorrent’
Detective Superintendent Lewis Basford branded Chan a “dangerous and predatory individual.”
He said: “Chan sought out positions of trust involving contact with young girls, which allowed him to commit his crimes unchecked for so long. He has proven himself to be a danger to all girls and women.”
Chan worked at a nursery in West Hampstead and a separate North London school between 2007 and 2017.
The pervert appeared at Highbury Magistrates’ Court yesterday to admit the new charges, which include 12 counts of making indecent images and six counts of outraging public decency.
He is currently cooling his heels in custody and will be sentenced for the full 56 offences at Wood Green Crown Court on February 12.
The NSPCC has set up a dedicated hotline for anyone affected by the case on 0800 028 0828.
