A paedophile began distributing indecent images online months after being released from prison.
Paul Riley collected hundreds of sick pictures and videos of young children being raped and shared these vile materials with other perverts over the Kik messaging service. The dad had only recently been freed from a lengthy jail term for couriering heroin and crack cocaine in a £1.6million plot.
Liverpool Crown Court heard this afternoon, Tuesday, that Merseyside Police received information over a Kik account which had been sharing child abuse images. The profile's email address was linked to Riley's home, which was then raided by officers on August 19 last year.
