In April 2019, Northamptonshire Police’s Online Child Abuse Investigation Unit received intelligence that Stephen Parker, previously of Wellingborough, was in possession of indecent images of children.
A short time later, officers executed a warrant at Parker’s home address and seized a number of his electronic devices.
Once these were investigated, Parker was found to have been using online video chatrooms where he would commit a sexual act in front of children and encourage them to do the same.
