THE vile dating profile used by an ex-BBC Radio One DJ to prey on kids has been exposed.

Mark Page, 63, has been jailed for 12 years after carrying out "grotesque sexual abuse" of poverty-stricken kids as young as 12 in the Philippines.

Now, the vile perv's dating profile on 'Find Your Filipino Beauty' – where he calls himself Pancho and claims he's 52 – has been revealed.

Sick Page says he "works hard and plays hard too" on the site.

Page was convicted on Wednesday of four counts of arranging the commission of a child sex offence, between 2016 and 2019.

Ex-BBC Radio One DJ who arranged sex with kids, 12 & 13, jailed for 12 years

Ex-BBC Radio One DJ found guilty of arranging sex with kids in Philippines

Two of the charges related to contact he had via a webcam from his home, while two happened during his frequent trips to the Philippines.

In one incident, Page tried to bargain down the price for a sexual encounter with a girl aged 12 and a boy of 13.

He said 3,000 pesos – around £44 at today's exchange rate – was too much.

His dating profile, released by cops, reads: "I hope you are nice, cute, pretty and easy to talk to.

"Hope that can turn to dating etc. Want a real person please DO NOT contact me if you're going to tell me any of the following 'I have a problem' or 'I have a big problem.

"Not looking for someone who wants money for internet, WiFi, medical bills, laptop repairs, rent, long sad stories about broken mobiles needing money, money for your niece's birthday party or loan until payday."

One of Page's victims, a waitress then aged 13 with no father and who was the eldest of six children, has been traced and now lives in a place of safety, Teesside Crown Court heard.

The divorced dad-of-three worked at Radio One in the 1980s and had a lengthy career in broadcasting.

Page had denied all offences throughout his trial, claiming he had been hacked.

'GROTESQUE ABUSE'

Judge Paul Watson QC today jailed him for 12 years and imposed a life-long Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

The judge said: "The offences of which you have been convicted involve the grotesque sexual abuse of young children for your own sexual gratification.

"You took advantage of the poverty and deprivation in an under-developed country in which children are routinely forced, through economic and social deprivation, into acts of prostitution."

Sick Page used frequent business trips to the Philippines – as well as charity work – as a cover for his perverted interest in underage sex.

Facebook alerted a charity following concerns raised about messaging on its platform.

Analysts studied a tablet, mobile phone and computer tower and checked his Skype activity, texts, bank account and money transfers before charging him.

Jo Kidd, prosecuting, drew parallels with higher profile paedophiles than Page during her damning closing speech to the jury yesterday.

Miss Kidd said: "Some of you may be old enough to remember Jim'll Fix It. You will remember watching It's a Knockout.

"You will remember revelling in the size of Gary Glitter's shoes.

"They were people who were spoken highly of, even people who were knighted by the Queen."

Miss Kidd continued: "I am not saying this on the basis that just because Mr Page was a Radio One DJ, that it makes him guilty of these offences.

"But it is worth noting, when one puts on a public face, when one carries out charity work, it does not mean the underbelly of their sexual depravity is not real."

Page, of Ingleby Barwick, Teesside had no previous dealings with police and was of previously good character.

He was well known on Teesside as the match announcer at Middlesbrough FC games for 20 years.
