Paedophile shared vile images on Snapchat and Kik
TECH giants have been urged to do more to combat online child sexual abuse after a Gwent paedophile was jailed for exchanging horrific photographs.
The NSPCC called for action following Nathan Tubb’s case in which he used Snapchat and Kik to “trade” images of young girls being raped.
The 25-year-old, formerly of Cwmbran, was sharing the filth on the internet with other paedophiles, prosecutor Laura Shepherd said.
Tubb, now of Station Road, Waunlwyd, Ebbw Vale, pleaded guilty to three counts of distributing an indecent photograph of a child.
He also admitted three charges of making indecent photographs of children and one of possessing an extreme pornographic image.
The defendant was jailed for two years and eight months.
Tubb was also told he would have to register as a sex offender for life and he was made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order until 2030.
