A pervert who was a member of a "gruesome" WhatsApp group was caught with horrific child abuse images.
Alan Daglish came to the attention of the National Crime Agency in February this year after uploading an indecent video of a child aged 11 or 12 to the WhatsApp group. A judge at Newcastle Crown Court heard the group had "particularly gruesome" interests although there was no evidence Daglish was viewing or searching for anything other than the images he admitted having.
When his devices were examined, police found ten of the most serious, category A images, including two videos, 23 category B and 16 category C images, along with one prohibited cartoon image of a child. An example of the material included a child aged between one and four being raped by a man.
