A man from Northern Ireland who abused at least 70 children online and drove one to suicide has been sentenced to life in jail with a minimum term of 20 years in a “horrific” case that a judge said had caused “catastrophic damage” to young girls all over the world.
Alexander McCartney, 26, admitted 185 charges including manslaughter, blackmail, inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and producing and distributing indecent images of children.
