An 18-year-old girl, Emily Thomson, has helped his 26-year-old brother, Matthew David Thatcher to rape and torture young children.
Emily was said to have been so “blinded by love” for her brother that she helped him rape and torture innocent children.
According to Daily Star UK, Emily, her half-brother Thatcher, and another woman, identified as 28-year-old Mandy Wright, have been jailed for a total of 45 years for a horrific campaign of sexual abuse.
The three defendants pleaded guilty to 36 counts bothering on sexual abuse of three under-16 children.
Cardiff Crown Court heard Thatcher and Thomson took photographs of themselves sexually assaulting the children, sent graphic messages about their abuse and discussed their evil plans.
The court also heard that South Wales Police officers discovered hundreds of images of sexual abuse of children taken during the trio’s abuse, which included dozens marked in the most extreme category A – which relates to rape and torture.
Referring to Thatcher, the judge of Cardiff, Eleri Rees added, “He descended into the darkest of places.
“He discovered that he was capable of doing the most dreadful things. He was caught up in something that he found very difficult to get out of.
“It was a dreadful thing that was taking place.
“The harrowing abuse at one point caused the children to cry “like they could not breathe.”
A medical examination of one of the young victims showed signs of “chronic sexual abuse”, the court heard.
Thomson’s lawyer, Neath, said she was “blinded with her infatuation” of Thatcher and that she was in “love” with him and “did not view him as a relative.”
The trio’s sustained abuse came to light after Thatcher was caught trying to meet what he thought was a 14-year-old he had spoken to over Facebook.
The police prosecutor, Suzanne Thomas told the court that the messages became “sexual” and they arranged to meet up.
After Thatcher arrived at the location the woman reported the matter to police.
The judge sentenced Thatcher to 26 years, Thomson to 12 years, and Wright – who was caught with images of the abuse – to seven years.
