Mark Page: Ex-Radio 1 DJ jailed for 12 years over child sex offences

A former Radio 1 DJ has been jailed for 12 years for arranging the sexual abuse of children in the Philippines.

Mark Page, 63, of Ingleby Barwick, Teesside, used a webcam to contact victims and travelled to the country.

He claimed his computer was hacked but jurors at Teesside Crown Court found him guilty of four offences on Wednesday.

Cleveland Police said children in the Philippines were "that bit safer" with Page in prison.

Page, a divorced father of three, was found guilty of four charges of arranging the commission of a child sex offence but cleared of one.
