Lewis Edwards used fake Snapchat accounts to ask girls for indecent images of them in their school uniforms. He was in contact with at least 210 girls, with photos of 207 of them found on his devices.
Former police officer Lewis Edwards, who admitted more than 100 sexual offences against children, has been handed a life sentence. He will serve a minimum of 12 years behind bars. Edwards, 24, carried out his offences while working as an officer for South Wales Police but was immediately suspended from duty upon his arrest and later resigned. He used fake Snapchat accounts - posing as a 14-year-old boy - to groom more than 200 girls aged between 10 and 16 online.
'The defendant pretended to be a boy of a similar age. He groomed his victims psychologically, manipulating them until he had gained control. 'When his victims did not comply, he would threaten them until they did what they were told.' The judge said Edwards continued his abuse even when the girls were crying, distressed and told him they had self-harmed. She told the court that Edwards was the only person responsible for his crimes.
