A “despicable” paedophile who recorded images of himself sexually abusing a baby including by rape has received a life sentence for his “depraved” crimes.
Gareth Andrew Davis, 43, of Ashridge Street, Runcorn, was arrested after the National Crime Agency (NCA) discovered that indecent photographs had been uploaded to a Google account in his name.
Cheryl Mottram, prosecuting at Chester Crown Court on Tuesday, said NCA investigators had suspicions Davis featured among the 512 child abuse images, and a warrant was executed at his home address.
