A TAMESIDE woman has been jailed after encouraging a man to commit sick sexual abuse against a vulnerable young child.

'Predatory' Naomi O'Brien, 31, exchanged messages with South Wales villager Jonathan Walker, 33.

After more than 1,800 messages were read by police, it was realised the pair had discussed their sexual interest in children. The pair met online, sharing a twisted obsession.

Greater Manchester Police detectives say the messages sent by O'Brien were not simply a case of fantasy. In March this year, she incited Walker to sexually abuse his young, innocent victim on multiple occasions.

The pair were brought to justice following a cominvestigation both plex involving South Wales Police and GMP.

Walker, of Pontsticill, Merthyr Tydfil, was arrested for a number of offences.
