A paedophile New Cross teacher caught on camera trying to befriend a youngster by offering sweets has admitted a string of child sex offences.

Perverted Emmanuel Oke, 51, of Camplin Street, has been jailed for 22 months after admitting four counts of sexual activity with a child and one count of arranging or facilitating commission of a child sex offence.

Woolwich Crown Court heard on June 4 how Oke was reported to police in Southwark when eight "inappropriate videos" were found on his computer.

In some of the videos, the teacher was seen trying to befriend a child, offering sweets in exchange of hugs.

He was eventually arrested and charged on April 2.

Following his court appearance, Oke was served with a ten-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order and barred from working with children.

Officer in the case Detective Constable Rob Harris, said: "Oke abused his position of trust. Officers immediately investigated Oke after he was reported to our officers in Southwark. This case demonstrates the Met's commitment to bringing to justice those who commit crimes against children."
