Woman who abused young girl on camera for thousands of pounds jailed

Woman who abused young girl on camera for thousands of pounds jailed

A woman who was paid thousands of pounds to sexually abuse a young girl on Skype has been jailed for six years.
Christine Callaghan, 33, abused children under the names of ‘Devil Bitch 666’ and ‘DomTabooSlut’ on an adult services website from her home in northern Cyprus.

Callaghan, from Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, abused a girl under the age of 13 for the sick pleasure of paedophile Dean Petley who paid her £2,285.

The National Crime Agency caught the pair after investigating Jodie Little, 30, who was jailed for 12 years and four months in August, this year, for sexually abusing children online.

Little, originally from Huddersfield, sent Petley 10 electronic files, one of which showed her sexually abusing a very young girl and talking graphically about the child being raped.

In October, 2018, the NCA arrested Petley, an automotive engineer, after identifying him as one of Little’s customers. He admitted 11 charges and was jailed last month for eight years.

Online chat found on Little’s devices showed Petley had asked her to perform sex acts in front of young children and that he paid her £750 from January 2017 to February 2018 to see her sexually abuse two victims.

Petley was rearrested in May, this year, after further evidence linking him to Christine Callaghan was found on an encrypted hard drive at his home.

It contained screenshots of conversations with Callaghan over two years and full facial images of her abusing the victim with a small window of Petley watching it.

Callaghan discussed with Petley what she would do for money and he instructed her how to abuse the victim.

The hard drive also contained a video of Callaghan abusing the young girl, while screenshots showed that on at least 10 different dates between 2016 to 2018, she performed penetrative sexual acts in front of the victim.

Callaghan was sent back to the UK, where she admitted nine offences but was convicted of eight. She admitted to distributing category A – the most serious – live streamed videos, distributing a category B indecent live streamed video, and two counts of causing or inciting a girl under 13 to engage in sexual activity.

As well as her jail sentence, Callaghan was given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and put on the sex offenders register for life for her ‘horrendous crimes’.

Matt Hall, NCA operations manager, said: ‘These were horrendous crimes that Callaghan carried out for money.

‘Her and Petley’s prosecutions were possible because of our determination to ensure Jodie Little faced justice.

‘Little might have been abroad but distance is not a barrier for the NCA in pursuing UK child sex offenders wherever they are.
