Mum who ran fetish Facebook page caught with sick images

A mum-of-two who ran a fetish Facebook page under the pseudonym 'Rosie Cheek' had explicit images of children as young as 'five or six'. Julie Barnes told police she had no knowledge of the sick images, Liverpool Crown Court heard yesterday (February 23).

But officers discovered the images had been deleted from the 57-year-old's phone. Barnes, from Widnes in Cheshire, had shared explicit images of herself on her fetish Facebook page - which has since been deleted.

She was described in court as a 'considerate and loving mother' who had acted through 'loneliness', the Liverpool Echo reports. Prosecuting, Derek Jones said police became aware of suspicious activity on the explicit Facebook page she ran.
