Kai Wang, pictured, took naked photographs of the naked 13-year-old girl and threatened to send the photographs to her school, if her family reported a £20,000 robbery on their business An armed robber who posed with a naked and gagged 13-year-old girl to blackmail her family into not reporting the crime said he 'hopes she feels better soon' as he was jailed. Illegal immigrant Kai Wang, 37, tied up the young girl and took photographs during a two-hour robbery and then threatened to send the pictures to her school and post them online. Wang and co-defendant Quan Chan, 38, claimed they carried out the knifepoint robbery stealing £20,000 this January to pay back people smugglers after they came into the country a month before. But this was rejected as Wang was jailed for 14 years and three months and Chan for 13 years and six months at Wood Green Crown Court. In a statement read out in court, Wang said: 'I am so sorry to the mother and daughter and I deeply regret this. 'I hope the little girl feels better soon. 'I made a mistake, I will be punished. 'I regret what I did and the damage caused to the little girl.' Sentencing Judge Joanna Greenberg QC branded the Chinese nationals 'enthusiastic' criminals who do not show 'any form of genuine remorse or regret.' Addressing Wang, who cowered and whimpered in the dock, she said: 'You terrorised that child, she must have been terrified. 'You undressed her, she was tied and gagged. You pulled her clothing apart so her breast and vaginal area were exposed and you took photographs of those areas. 'In one of the photographs you are touching her breast. 'You told her the photographs would be sent to her school and shared online if she or her mother reported what you had done. This is the moment police arrested Quan Chan, left, and Kai Wang, right. As well as a 14-year jail term, Wang has been placed on the Sex Offenders' Register for life 'Both of you were part of the plan to take the pictures. 'You were both confident that they would be too terrified to report what happened but you misjudged their courage.' Defending Wang, Matthew Pardoe said: 'It is clear that Mr Wang was trafficked into this country. 'The reality is that people who are trafficked do so by paying to make sure they get into the country. 'The idea that it was his idea, bearing in mind he was in the country for a short amount of time, is highly unlikely. 'It is clear he was used to carry out this crime. 'He is from rural China and his family fell on hard times when their fishing pond, which was their source of income, was destroyed when a large road was made. Quan Chan admitted to robbery, false imprisonment, possession of indecent images of child and possession of a false immigration document 'His family took the opportunity to send their eldest son to the UK to send money home.' Responding to Wang's wish to stay in the UK, Judge Greenberg said: 'I have no idea where he dreamt that from.' Defending Chan, Daniel Murray added: 'I do not intend to minimise the impact of the act. 'The main aggravating factor was of the co-defendant who was left alone with the daughter. 'Mr Chan was not there, he didn't take the image.' But Judge Greenberg said: 'They are both equally culprit in relation to the making of the photographs and were enthusiastic participants. 'They were taken as part of a planned robbery to keep the victims silent. 'The sexual assault is the only differing factor.' Mr Murray added: 'Mr Chan came here as an economic and illegal immigrant. 'But he got involved with the people who smuggled him in, he was naive. 'He had options but he took the wrong one.' Sentencing Judge Greenberg said: 'I do not accept you met by chance on your arrival in the UK. 'I do not accept that this was carried out to pay off debts to the traffickers. 'Nothing I have heard about your circumstances can justify what both of you did. 'You targeted that shop knowing there were vulnerable people inside - a mother and a daughter. 'You humiliated and degraded them. 'Neither of you show genuine empathy and your distress is only a reaction to your own fate.' Both Wang and Chan wore grey tops and held their hands in the praying position and began to whimper when sentenced Wang fell to the ground when two prison officers attempted to carry him down to the cells and their cries echoed down the stairs through the locked door. Speaking after the case, Senior investigating officer DCI Paul Ridley said: 'It was abundantly clear from the onset of this investigation, the significant harm that these men posed to the public and the levels of violence they were prepared to use. 'It would be difficult for anyone to imagine the sheer fear and trauma caused to these victims, in particular the young girl. 'The significant custodial sentences handed down by the judge demonstrate the abundance of aggravating factors in this case, including the use of weapons, binding the victims, detaining them for a prolonged period and their additional degradation.' Wang pleaded guilty to robbery, sexual assault of a child, false imprisonment, making and distributing indecent images of child and possession a false immigration document at previous hearings. Chan admitted to robbery, false imprisonment, possession of indecent images of child and possession of a false immigration document.All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
