Shocking police footage has shown the moment a ‘heinous’ paedophile was arrested in a motel room where he was waiting to rape an eight-year-old girl.
Jonathon David Henke, 46, placed an online ad ‘looking for mother and very young daughter’.
Henke thought he had arranged to meet the mum and daughter at an Adelaide motel and sat on a bed waiting for their arrival one afternoon in late 2020.
Instead it was police barged through the door, as shown by footage released by the Adelaide District Court this week.

The officers then handcuffed Henke while saying: ‘Let go of your hand, let go your arm.’
Officers found stacks of $50 notes heaped on a desk in the room, which Henke thought he was going to use to pay to have sex with the child.
A pack of flavoured condoms was also seen on the desk and Henke also had lubricant with him.
In the footage, one of the police officers says ‘Mr Henke, is it?’ and two officers lift him onto the bed.
One of the officers introduces himself as being from the Child Exploitation team and tells Henke he is placing him under arrest.
Henke is then read his rights and asked if he understands. He says he does and is then told that ‘the camera is running. Anything you say is being recorded.’
When he was caught, pathetic Henke tried to lie to police that he was actually just trying to help them out.

The South Australian District Court heard that on October 2, 2020 Henke posted an online advertisement on a site called ChaosAds.
The ad said it was from a ‘male looking for mother and very young daughter’, Judge Adam Kimber said during sentencing.
Police saw the ad and contacted Henke on the phone number he gave.
‘The undercover officer pretended to be a 37-year-old mother of two young girls, aged five and eight,’ Judge Kimber said.
Henke sent a series of vile messages about the eight-year-old and offered $500 to have sex with her.
‘You asked about the child’s sexual experience … and asked whether the child had been shown the photograph you had sent of your penis,’ Judge Kimber said.
Henke booked a motel room where he could have sex with the child and asked the person he thought was the mother to bring child exploitation material.
The judge said ‘The condoms were flavoured and in the flavour you had been told the child liked.’
He added: ‘You lied to the police and said you had gone along with the communications with the intention of reporting to the police the person with whom you are communicating.’

Henke, from Nuriootpa, an hour north of Adelaide, was also found with child exploitation material.
He pleaded guilty to possessing child exploitation material and procuring a child for sexual activity.
The former truck driver posted the online ad on the same day his wife asked for a divorce.
Judge Kimber said Henke’s offending was ‘heinous’ and his ‘deviant’ interest in children meant his chances of reoffending were ‘very real’.
‘You believed that you were contracting for a child to be sold for sex,’ he said.
‘You have only recently admitted having had a deviant sexual interest in prepubescent and pubescent females for about 15 years.
‘You have also admitted having viewed child exploitation material over at least the last 15 years,’ the judge said.
Henke was sentenced to five years and eight months jail, with a non-parole period of three years and six months.
The sentence was backdated to October 23, 2020, the day he was arrested.
