Party performer jailed for grooming and sexually exploiting six teenage girls
Marc Corrieri, a 34-year-old man who worked as an Oompa Loompa performer at parties, has been jailed after grooming and sexually exploiting teenage girls through social media. He sent explicit messages to minors, solicited indecent images and videos, and paid them money in exchange for sexual content, causing significant harm to vulnerable young people.
Corrieri admitted ten sexual offence charges involving six victims aged between 13 and 17, with offences spanning from April 2019 to June 2025. He paid one victim £150 and another £40 via PayPal and specifically exploited a fetish request to coerce victims into sending material. Sheriff Kevin McCallum imposed a significant custodial sentence, placing Corrieri on the sex offenders register indefinitely and banning all contact with his victims. This is his second conviction for such offences; he previously received 240 hours unpaid work and a three-year register placement in 2014.

The case highlights how young people can be vulnerable to predatory behaviour online through social media. It demonstrates why teenagers need to be aware of the risks of sharing intimate content with unknown adults and why such conduct carries serious criminal consequences.
