Teenage pervert watched child abuse videos on secret phone stashed under bed

A teenage pervert confessed he had watched twisted videos of girls as young as 10 on a secret phone stashed under his bed.

Tanvir Ahmed, 18, "brought shame" on his family when Merseyside Police knocked on his door on Willmer Road, Tranmere, on February 2 last year. Liverpool Crown Court heard a search was performed at the address and no incriminating items were found, but Ahmed then confessed there was a Samsung mobile phone "hidden under his bed".

Arthur Gibson, prosecuting, told the court: "The images in question are three Category A videos each showing a young girl aged approximately 10 to 12. Originally, it was thought that what had happened was that the defendant, while on Snapchat, had actually taken videos of three young girls who were also on Snapchat.
