Lewis Edwards, who has admitted 162 offences relating to child sex abuse, blackmailed girls to continue sending him images and videos.Lewis Edwards, who has admitted 162 offences relating to child sex abuse, blackmailed girls to continue sending him images and videos.
He secretly recorded them and would force them to continue to send him material even when they begged him to leave them alone, by threatening to send the images to friends and family if they refused. He said: “The defendant was in his bedroom. Found next to him were two mobile phones. Police began the mammoth task of investigating vast quantities of material on the electronic devices they were able to access.
The court heard one girl, who was 13 and 14 when she was targeted, suggested to Edwards she would take her own life. In a victim personal statement, the girl said: “I was only 13 when I was manipulated to being forced to send images of myself online to someone I thought was 15, now I know he’s a grown man, a serving police officer, a paedophile. I was only a little girl.
