    Two Indian-origin brothers from east London have been sentenced after a mobile phone sent for repair uncovered disturbing videos of child sex abuse, leading to their conviction for multiple offences, reported BBC.Vruj Patel, 26, was jailed for over 22 years at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Tuesday, following his guilty plea to 17 charges including rape and assault of a child under 13, possession of indecent images, and voyeurism. His crimes also extended to sexual offences against a woman over 16.His brother, Kishnan Patel, also from Plaistow, was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment in June after pleading guilty to four counts related to making and possessing indecent images of children.The metropolitan police revealed that the investigation began when videos of child abuse were found on a mobile device belonging to Kishnan Patel, which had been submitted for repairs. Subsequent detective work identified Vruj Patel as the perpetrator in the footage, confirmed by visible features such as clothing and jewellery.Detective sergeant Rob Blant described Vruj Patel as a “cowardly, opportunistic offender who has preyed on vulnerable victims for his own sexual gratification,” as quoted by BBC. He added, “There are teams of dedicated, professional officers working across London who will leave no stone unturned to identify those who seek to commit offences against vulnerable people and bring offenders to justice.”Authorities believe some offences occurred as early as 2018, with voyeurism offences potentially continuing until recently. Police are appealing for any additional victims to come forward, expressing concern that there may be more children affected, possibly in the brothers’ home.Vruj Patel has been placed on the sex offenders’ register indefinitely, while Kishnan Patel will be subject to a 10-year sexual harm prevention order.Throughout the investigation and trial, the victim-survivors received specialist support from law enforcement agencies, the met police confirmed.
