Stockport MP raises Spotify grooming case in parliament after girl, 11, posted explicit pictures of herself

A Stockport MP has called for an urgent statement from the government after a schoolgirl was groomed by a secret porn network on Spotify.

An M.E.N investigation revealed the 11-year-old, from Reddish, was able to upload several explicit pictures of herself to the music streaming platform before her parents found out.

The girl's mother claimed her daughter was encouraged to create her own playlists, where other Spotify users could edit the title to enable them to message each other. Users can then upload a "custom" picture to the cover of the playlist.
