AN ex-BBC producer condemned as a “dangerous” paedophile tried to con a private school’s headteacher into allowing him to film schoolgirls at a Christmas concert.
Serial sex offender Peter Croasdale attempted to “hoodwink” Monmouth’s Haberdashers’ to allow him to record a carol service.
The 58-year-old gave the school a bogus name and tried to charge the then head Jennifer Phillips £450 to film a performance.
Croasdale was jailed for more than four years in 2009 for sexually abusing a young girl, taking an indecent photograph of a child, voyeurism and possessing indecent photographs of children.
When police arrested the ex-Radio 4 producer for his recent crimes in Monmouthshire, they caught him with disturbing child abuse images on his computer.
