A trans-identified male in Wales who previously avoided prison for his part in a national child pornography ring has been busted by a local group of volunteers working to catch sexual predators. David Griffiths, 69, who dresses up in women’s clothing and calls himself Penny Price and alternatively Mabel Mint, was turned over to authorities by Innocent Voices Stings on January 4 in Connah’s Quay after members of their team had been sent pornography by Griffiths via a decoy which he believed was a 14 year-old girl….

Griffiths has previously avoided a prison term after he pleaded guilty to 11 counts of distributing indecent images, with another 108 similar offenses that were taken into “consideration.” In 2001, walked out of the Old Bailey courthouse smiling despite acknowledging his involvement in a child pornography ring wherein he sent indecent images and videos to other pedophiles he met through a pen-pal agency.
