Anthony ‘Danny’ Burns, 39, described as a ‘pupil’ of one of the most dangerous sexual predators investigated by the National Crime Agency (NCA), has been sentenced to 24 years in prison for committing dozens of blackmail and online sex offences. Burns worked alongside notorious online child sex offender Abdul Elahi, who was sentenced to 32 years in December 2021 for inflicting sadistic online abuse on 2,000 victims globally.
Between May 2018 and March 2021, Burns utilized ‘sugar daddy’ websites to coerce dozens of unsuspecting females into performing sexual and degrading acts under the threat of blackmail. His criminal activities included targeting a seven-year-old girl in the US, who faced abuse following sustained coercion by Burns.
