A "lonely" pervert had vile sexual images of babies amongst his 1,500-strong sick collection of child sex abuse videos and pictures.
Daniel Cooper amassed the disturbing material over a period of 10 years on two mobiles phones and a laptop and also distributed some of it to other people online. Newcastle Crown Court was told that one of the deranged videos involved a distressed six-month-old baby and an adult male.
The "morbidly obese" 34-year-old's sordid secret finally came to light when a friend asked to borrow his iPhone to use Snapchat and accidentally clicked on his camera roll, which revealed some of the images and videos. He was arrested and forensic analysis of two of his phones and his laptop revealed he'd also distributed some of the pictures, prosecutors said.
