Lewis Edwards: Judge gives Snapchat sex abuse PC life

This is the moment a police officer who blackmailed and threatened underage girls to send him explicit photos of themselves on Snapchat was jailed for life.

Lewis Edwards, of Cefn Glas, Bridgend, groomed more than 200 girls online.

The 24-year-old, who had 4,500 indecent images of children, admitted 160 counts of child sexual abuse and blackmail.

Handing Edwards several life sentences, with a minimum term of 12 years, Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke said: "It is clear that he not only gained sexual gratification from his offending but he also enjoyed the power and control he had over these young girls."
