Raymond Edward Carr: Albury paedo hoped lollies would silence victims

An Albury paedophile who performed sick sexual acts on children as young as four gave them money and lollies to stay silent, a court has heard.

A man has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a four-year-old girl while she was playing with dolls.

An Albury paedophile who gave his victims – one child as young as four – lollies and money so he could perform sick and twisted sexual acts on them has been jailed for 12 years.

Raymond Edward Carr, 32, was sentenced on Tuesday in Albury court after he was found guilty of two counts of intercourse with a person under 10, and seven counts of indecent assault of person under 16 in December.

The court heard Carr sexually abused three children across several years including a four-year-old girl.

Carr, 15 at the time and living in East Albury, told the girl he wanted to show her something.

The girl stopped playing with her dolls and went to Carr who pulled her pants down, and inserted an object inside her vagina.

When the girl begged him to stop and started to cry, Carr gave her a lolly and asked her not to tell anyone.

When the victim was eight, Carr, 19, touched inside the girl’s underpants while she was asleep.

She pushed his hands away and asked him to stop but Carr raped her.

During the trial, the victim said on other occasions Carr had offered her money to perform sexual acts on her.

Carr’s second victim, an 11-year-old boy, was living in Albury when he woke one night to Carr touching his bottom inside his underpants.

Carr offered the victim $100 and walked away.

There were two other times, when Carr’s second victim was in Year 7 that he woke to Carr touching him on the bottom.

Carr’s third victim was 15 when Carr touched him on the bottom while he was sleeping on the lounge.

On another occasion the same victim woke Carr’s hand wrapped around his penis.  Two days later the victim woke to Carr touching his penis.

Judge Sean Grant said the offending was a serious form of criminal behaviour.

“It occurred in the home of the victim which is a statutory aggravating feature.”

The court heard Carr, who left school after Year 9, painted homes and built sheds until he started using cannabis at 19.

Judge Grant said he was not convinced Carr could be rehabilitated as he had shown no remorse and still denied his offending.

He will be eligible for parole on December 5, 2028.
