We sometimes hear about someone who abuses children and our emotions are all over the map. Our hearts go out to the child that is suffering and will likely suffer for the rest of their lives. At the same time, however, it is difficult to feel even a shred of empathy for the monster who was responsible for the abuse. Of course, we realize that the level of abuse differs from one case to another but when we take a look at what 32-year-old Terry Coneyworth from Britain did, it makes our blood run cold.
Coneyworth is now going to be serving a life sentence in prison for his crimes against a very young child. He filmed himself raping and assaulting a 2-year-old girl and then after he finished, he posed the video online for others to view. After being arrested in 2018 and charged with multiple crimes, he is behind bars but that isn’t the end of the story. This pedophile continued to abuse the girl when she wasn’t feeling well and took and shared pictures of what he did on an internet messenger service. After all he did and his horrible acts, he may be up for parole after only spending 8 years in prison.
Terry Coneyworth, 31, of Derwent Avenue, Hull, has been jailed for life (minimum of 8 years) after admitting 19 sexual offences – including sexually assaulting & raping a 2-yr-old girl.

The judge admitted it was the most ‘serious and disturbing’ case he had heard after being on the bench for 16 years. He put in a guilty plea to 19 sexual offense charges that led to his sentence. The judge continued, saying: “Your offending plumbed the depths of depravity.”
When officers searched his home, they found 965 images of an indecent nature, 22 of which he had distributed. 9 of the pictures were of the little girl he had abused. They also found chats where he discussed sexually assaulting another girl. The police feel that he would have continued to commit these vile acts if they had not caught him.
