NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
A teaching assistant who repeatedly raped a baby and filmed himself abusing the child has been jailed.
Tommy Lee Allington, 25, from Swansea, subjected the little boy to a sustained campaign of abuse, which he documented and shared images of online.
A court heard how he ‘boasted’ about his activities to fellow paedophiles on the messaging app Telegram, discussing how babies and infants are unable to tell anyone if they’re abused.
His victim’s suffering only came to light after detectives investigating other indecent images shared by Allington found his self-shot films among a vast trove of child sex abuse.
