One brother is linked to a neo-Nazi paedophile cult encouraging suicide, the other is a child rapist
Published By admin
When Richard Ehiemere was accused of links to a neo-Nazi paedophile cult, he blamed his older brother Barthimaus. Bart, as he is known to friends, was caught with hundreds of indecent images of young boys in a raid on their East London home in September 2020, and Richard now had his brother’s old Samsung mobile. The images were already on the phone, Richard’s defence team argued.
Jurors were unconvinced. In February this year, Richard Ehiemere was convicted on three counts of possessing indecent images and two counts of fraud – the frauds in relation to personal data he was selling to CVLT, an online hate group that blackmails young children by grooming them to record sex acts, and, in the worst cases, to take their own lives on camera.
Despite Richard’s links to an international child sex abuse ring, and the involvement of the National Crime Agency, he avoided jail with a 12-month suspended sentence. The number of indecent images found on his phone (29 in total) was relatively low compared to many of the cases in the crown court, and aged 17 at the time of offending, he was also a youth in the eyes of the law.
Now court proceedings are no longer active, MyLondon can reveal that while 21-year-old Richard Ehiemere was going through the courts, his 25-year-old brother Barthimaus Ehiemere was also on remand awaiting trial at Snaresbrook for 17 child sex offences, having already admitted 32 offences, including child rape. Their relationship was first reported by Essex News & Investigations.
During his trial, Barthimaus argued he had not known the ages of the boys (despite their obviously young appearance), and plainly accused one young boy of making up the rape allegation (because he had been spurned). But jurors heard damning accounts from the victims, and were read a text to a mystery male where Barthimaus described intercourse with 12-year-olds as the ‘best sex ever’.
Barthimaus was found guilty on 15 of the 17 counts, bringing his total convictions to 47. They include multiple counts of raping a child under 13, paying for the sexual services of a child, sexual communication with a child, meeting a child following sexual grooming, inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, and attempted rape.
