ALEXANDRIA, Va. – A Lorton man was sentenced today to 18 years in prison for sexually exploiting minor girls as young as nine years old and enticing them to create and send him sexually explicit images and videos of themselves on Snapchat.According to court documents, between at least May 1, 2021, and May 8, 2024, Jose Alejandro Belmonte Cardozo, 31, used Snapchat to find minor girls and entice them to send him child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Belmonte Cardozo created different Snapchat accounts depending on the scheme he used to obtain CSAM from the minors.For example, Belmonte Cardozo used a particular account to catfish two 15-year-old girls, convincing them that he was a teenage boy. He sent the minors pictures that he claimed depicted him, but which actually depicted a boy who appeared to be approximately 16 years old. Belmonte Cardozo persuaded the minors to send him CSAM, which he surreptitiously recorded on a second cell phone to avoid the in-app notification. He then saved the recordings to a password-protected hidden folder on his cell phone.Belmonte Cardozo used a second account to convince other minors to send him CSAM in exchange for admission to a phony group chat he purported

A judge slammed a "ruthless and determined" paedophile for using the death of his wife to excuse his depraved pursuit of teenage girls.

He also had 100,000 more images which were uncategorised. The judge, His Honour Simon Mills, branded Bell a "dangerous" offender who posed a risk of serious harm to the public and children in particular.

A Ballyshannon man who left another man with serious injuries after a row that began over a pair of boxers has been told to stump up another €5,000 for his victim. Calum Ayres has been given a year to pay the money to Jarlath Hegarty in order to stay out of prison. Twenty-one-year-old Ayres, of Lawne Park, Ballyshannon, was charged with assaulting Mr Hegarty and causing him harm at Church Road, Bundoran on November 7, 2021 Ayres brought €5,000 to Donegal Circuit Court for Mr Hegarty, but has been told to double that figure after what Judge John Aylmer called an “appalling attack”. Garda Joanne Conway from Ballyshannon Garda Station told Ms Fiona Crawford BL, for the prosecution, that the men were at a party earlier in the night and “everyone was drinking and getting on okay”. The injured party went into a bedroom and was looking around for his boxers. He had jeans on, but was not wearing boxers as he went to leave, the court heard. As he was attempting to find the item of clothing, Ayres was said to have entered the bedroom, shouting “you were going through my bag” and began hitting Mr Hegarty. A female

A convicted Medway sex offender is behind bars after police found he was spending unsupervised time with children and using Snapchat. Brandon Coleman breached an order banning him from using any devices capable of accessing the internet or storing digital images without informing the authorities. A Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) stated that any that he did possess must be available for inspection by the police when asked. He was also prohibited from any contact with juveniles unless certain restrictions were in place and ordered not to use any form of software capable of deleting internet history or making messages disappear. The 22-year-old, of Burma Way, Chatham, became the subject of the order after being convicted of making indecent images of children in October 2021. But a report was made to Kent Police raising concerns that he was not abiding by its terms. He was arrested on October 16 and an examination of his mobile phone uncovered further prohibited activity, including that he had downloaded Snapchat and was using several different online aliases. Coleman was charged and later pleaded guilty to making an indecent image, failing to comply with notification requirements for the sex offender register and multiple breaches of
