A man who followed two eight-year-old boys into school toilets before asking them inappropriate questions has been jailed for two years.
25-year-old Calum O'Reilly-Timms from Somerset was found guilty of a number of sexual offences at Reading Crown Court on Friday (September 30).
He was working as a contractor at the school in August last year, when he followed the boys into the toilets.
Both boys left when he asked them inappropriate questions, and a police investigation begun after they told their parents.
O'Reilly-Timms was arrested the following day and was found to have indecent images of children.
He was charged in February this year.
Investigating officer, Detective Constable Robert Chevalier, of Bracknell and Wokingham CID, said: “These were extremely shocking incidents, carried out by an opportunistic and predatory man.
“Although very young, both his victims provided officers with detailed descriptions of what O’Reilly-Timms had said and done, which enabled us to identify him and arrest him quickly following the incidents.
“I would like to thank them and their families for their support of our investigation, and I hope that this case demonstrates how seriously these allegations are taken, how thoroughly they will be investigated and how important the safeguarding of victims is to Thames Valley Police.”
