🚨🇬🇧 Dark web child r*pist identified through lingerie photos and images of his hands jailed for 23 years
Darren Welsby, 48, was convicted of r*ping and sexually abusing children, some as young as six, and recording and distributing the abuse online.
⠀
Investigators traced Welsby after the username “wellhnug,” used to upload child sexual abuse material on the dark web, was also used on an adult website where he posted photographs of himself wearing women’s lingerie.
⠀
A forensic anthropologist then matched his hands and knuckles to those visible in the abuse images, while digital experts established that the material was captured using one of his phones.
A search uncovered more than 30,000 abusive images across 10 devices. Welsby was sentenced to 23 years in prison and will serve a further five years on extended licence.
