Turner, a 72-year-old former churchwarden, pleaded guilty on Monday to importing the child sex doll after the application to dismiss the charge was turned down. While NCA agents do not believe any similar models are being manufactured in the UK, Stewart said there were concerns over a gap in legislation because it is not illegal to own a child sex doll. “They are the weight of a seven-year-old child, they are not something that is the traditional blow-up doll,” she said. The judge, Simon James, said the importation of a child sex doll was an “unusual offence” and that it “adds a degree of complexity”. Jon Brown, head of development at the NSPCC, said: “There is no evidence to support the idea that the use of so-called child sex dolls helps stop potential abusers from committing contact offences against real children.”
