Liverpool’s top judge warned the city’s courts are seeing more and more cases of paedophiles being found with images of extremely young children being abused.
The Honorary Recorder of Liverpool, Judge Andrew Menary QC, made the comments on Thursday as he sentenced a man found with images of six month old babies being sexually assaulted. He said the courts were seeing cases where the children being subjected to abuse were getting “ever younger”.
It comes after a series of cases, reported in the ECHO, involving offenders caught with pictures and videos of extremely young kids. The filming and distribution of horrendous sexual abuse of children over the internet has been an issue for decades - but a spate of cases recently have highlighted just how young some of the victims are.
