An NSPCC Cymru/Wales spokesman said: “Ryan-Guess and Roberts committed a series of appalling and grave offences against young children, including rape in the case of Roberts who was a serving police officer.
“The danger both men pose is reflected in the long jail terms they will now serve, while their victims will now need a great deal of support to recover.
“Abusers increasingly use the internet not only to target and groom their young victims, but to communicate with each other. This case shows again how sickening child abuse footage is often shared within groups of like-minded offenders.
“It is why the NSPCC is campaigning for tough measures to compel social media companies to do everything possible to protect children while they are online and to prevent the circulation of vile images of abuse.”
Adults concerned about indecent images or the wellbeing of a child can call the NSPCC helpline on 0808 800 5000. Children can contact Childline with any concerns on 0808 1111.
The NSPCC, in partnership with O2 also provides advice on social media via the Net Aware tool, and for details, visit net-aware.org.uk, which is also available as an app.
