Camelot employees say they feel “sick” to know that a convicted paedophile was allegedly present at family parties.

Eamon Goodfellow, 50, from St Albans, paid fellow abusers from the Philippines and Romania to carry out abuse so he could stream it online.

Seized electronic devices of the ex-Camelot worker had chats where Goodfellow actively sought children under 13.

When a child at the right age was identified, he would direct and pay the facilitators to perform sexual acts on the children with a view to live-streaming the footage.

One Camelot colleague, who wishes to remain anonymous, claims that Goodfellow attended some family parties with co-workers.

They said: “I’m so angry and it makes me sick to know he was working in the same building as me for four years, especially as people brought their kids in for family parties.

“It’s evil what he did and it’s disgusting that he was able to stay in his job. He’s a sick man and yet for four years we’ve been working with him.“

Another former colleague said: “I always thought he was a bit weird and he could be quite rude at times, but I never thought he was a paedophile.

“It’s really disturbing to think he’s been able to carry on working for four years. People get sacked just for being arrested in a lot of jobs.”

Camelot told the Mirror that it acted swiftly following the conviction on April 12.

A spokesperson said: “We were unaware of the charges until the conviction this month.

“We immediately suspended the employee and the matter is subject to Camelot’s internal disciplinary process.

“We are mindful of our employment law obligations and will pursue the strongest possible action.”

Goodfellow was arrested in 2018 by National Crime Agency officers and was later found guilty of two counts of attempting to cause the sexual exploitation of a child under 13 at St Albans Crown Court after a six-day trial.

Martin Ludlow, from the National Crime Agency, said: “Goodfellow made it very clear that he has sexual interest in young children in these chat logs.”

He will be sentenced at the same court on May 31.
