Wallsend former physio's child abuse images stash included baby being abused

A former physio was caught with a sickening collection of indecent images - including a video of a baby being abused which even he found upsetting.

Gavin Bettencourt downloaded hundreds of child abuse pictures and videos featuring children aged between one month old and 13 years. The material was found when police seized his phone in June 2020.

He was found to have more than 1,000 of the most serious, category A, images, more than 400 category B and more than 1,000 category C. He also had an extreme pornography video featuring a woman and a dog.
