A man who videoed himself sexually assaulting a young girl and had hundreds of indecent images of other children on a laptop and phone, has been jailed for 14 years.
Lancashire Police launched an investigation after a USB containing videos of Kiefer Garner assaulting the girl was discovered.
The USB also had naked pictures of his victim and another girl.
When Garner (pictured) was arrested in Blackburn, officers seized a laptop and mobile phone from his home.
A total of 519 indecent images were found on the USB, laptop and mobile, with 92 of those deemed Category A – the most serious category.
On the USB, there were also several screen recordings from Snapchat in which Garner used a different name on the profile and had an image of a young adult male – not an image of himself.
The screen recordings showed Garner engaging in conversations with young females and exchanging images.
Garner, 35, of no fixed address, appeared for sentence at Preston Crown Court Sessions House last week (15th June) after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing to charges of assaulting a girl under 13 by penetration, assaulting a girl under 13 by touching, cause/incite a girl under 13 to engage in sexual activity, engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child under 13, and making indecent photographs of a child.
He was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment with an eight-year extended licence period.
Garner was made subject of an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order and will be on the Sex Offenders register for life.
