A comedian who was a fixture in a Cheshire town has been unmasked as a paedophile who paid for vulnerable kids to be sexually abused in the Philippines and Romania. Eamon Goodfellow – once a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe – sourced victims aged under 13 through fixers.
Police uncovered sick chat logs in which the 50-year-old discussed live-streaming sex acts being performed on children. Detectives from the National Crime Agency found evidence that he sent payments for abuse to be carried out.
Goodfellow, from Northern Ireland, ran comedy nights in Nantwich and appeared in the town’s theatre. He was convicted following a trial and will be sentenced later this month.
