Woman Jailed for Sending Indecent Photos of a Child

A 23-year-old woman from Hull, Toni Andrews, has been sentenced to 16 months in prison following an investigation by the National Crime Agency (NCA). Andrews was found guilty of taking indecent photos of a child and sending them to her boyfriend, Thomas Edeson, 24. The NCA’s investigation into Edeson began in May 2021 after a referral from the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

Edeson had been convicted in August 2021 for sexually assaulting a young girl and taking indecent images of her. During the investigation into Edeson, officers discovered sexual images of a child that appeared to have been taken by Andrews and sent to him. Further examination of Andrews’ electronic devices revealed over 800 illegal images and videos, including hundreds showing child sexual abuse.
