Terry Coneyworth, of Hull, is facing jail for raping a toddler and taking pictures of the attack
A violent paedophile who took pictures of himself raping a two-year-old girl was caught by police after he openly plotted about abusing another child.
Terry Coneyworth, of Hull, sexually abused the toddler before uploading horrific pictures online and will be sentenced in February 2019 after admitting to a series of disturbing sex attacks.
The 31-year-old has admitted a total of 19 sexual offences charges in what one police officer told the city’s crown court was ‘the most serious and disturbing case I have dealt with in my 16 years of service’.
Police discovered the sick images on his electronic devices in a raid on his home but they also found evidence of an online chat where Coneyworth talked about raping and sexually assaulting another young girl.
Detective Constable Gregg Anderson said: ‘Coneyworth committed the most serious sexual offences against an extremely young girl and I believe that had we not caught him when we did, he would have continued with his depraved actions.
‘The content of his online chat also suggested that he had another victim in mind, so we are extremely glad that we stopped him when we did and prevented the possible abuse of other children.
‘Our thoughts remain with his victim and her family and hope that with their continued love and support she will be able to recover from what has happened to her and rebuild her life.
‘I would also like to thank them for their bravery throughout the investigation.
Coneyworth’s sick offences came to light last month after the National Crime Agency alerted the specialist Internet Sex Offenders team that someone in Hull had taken pictures of a child being sexually abused and uploaded them to a website.
Humberside Police teams traced the address and established the photos had been taken at that location.
Coneyworth was arrested that day, his computer equipment and phone were seized and he was later remanded into custody.
On December 21 he appeared at Hull Crown Court, where he admitted rape, sexual assault and a series of other child sex offences.
