Brighton man, 20, convicted of trying to murder two women

A Hove man has admitted being involved in the sexual abuse of a four or five-year-old boy.

Matthew Lisk, 32, admitted engaging in a sex act with a married man while they watched over the internet as an associate – David Harsley from Humberside – committed a sex act in front of the boy.

Lisk was part of a gang that has pleaded guilty to a number of offences including the rape of a child and conspiring to rape a child.

He is awaiting sentence at Bristol Crown Court while jurors try two other men, alleged to be from the same gang, who are accused of conspiring to rape a child.

In at least one of the incidents, members of the gang raped and abused a baby.

Robert Davies, prosecuting, told the court that the gang used internet chat rooms and Skype to arrange the offences and used a live stream to share footage.

Lisk is one of five men to plead guilty to offences that took place in 2013 and 2014.

The trial of the other two – John Denham, 49, also known as Benjamin Harrop, from Wiltshire, and Matthew Stansfield, 34, from Hampshire – resumes today (Monday 13 April).
