Filipino women paid for child abuse footage

A 62-year-old man who offered money to women in the Philippines in exchange for child abuse videos was sentenced to 16 years in prison.

Police said Peter Swan, of Orton Malborne, Peterborough, made his advances between 2015 and 2023 using social media and dating apps.

Officers discovered the exchanges after executing a search warrant at Swan’s home after he posted an indecent image of a child online.

Detectives added that laptops containing more than 3,000 indecent images of children and a phone were seized from his home.
