A married foster carer is behind bars after "trading" videos of horrific child abuse on Snapchat with other paedophiles.
James Billingsley-Taylor, 32, bizarrely tried to claim he was not sexually aroused by child abuse and was simply conducting "research", despite asking other paedophiles "can you see their face" in conversations about sharing sick videos.
Billingsley-Taylor, of Price Street, Birkenhead, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday after admitting two counts of distributing indecent images of children, three of making (downloading) indecent images and one of possessing indecent images, all between December 2021 and August 2022.
