Jail for predator who sexually abused child and filmed it
A woman who recorded videos of her sexually assaulting a young child has been locked up.
Lorna Hargreaves repeatedly filmed herself abusing the girl before sharing the footage with another person.
The predator also took other indecent images of the same child, as well as a further indecent photo of another girl.
These images and videos were all then shared with a man with a similar sexual interest in children.
Hargreaves' paedophilic offending all took place throughout 2025.
This would all be evidenced when police raided her home on December 3, 2025, and seized devices containing the videos and images.
Further indecent images of children were also found, along with extreme pornographic images of animals.
Evidence was also discovered that pointed to Hargreaves being responsible for various voyeurism offences too.
These all took place between 2022 and 2025, with multiple people filmed in various intimate situations without their knowledge.
The 33-year-old again shared these videos with another person online, having recorded them for her own sexual gratification.
Hargreaves was charged with four counts of sexually assaulting a child and three counts of distributing indecent images of a child.
She was also charged with taking and making indecent images of children, voyeurism and possessing extreme pornographic images.
Faced with the mounting evidence against her, Hargreaves, formerly of Sutton, admitted to each charge.
She then returned to Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday, October 15, where she was jailed for four years and eight months.
Hargreaves was made the subject of a 12 year Sexual Harm Prevention Order and will have to sign the sex offenders' register for life.
A restraining order preventing Hargreaves from contacting any of her victims was also imposed. This will remain for life.
Detective Constable Kayley Freeman, of Nottinghamshire Police's Internet Child Exploitation Team, said: "Lorna Hargreaves is a highly manipulative sexual predator who deserves this prison sentence.
"Her decision to repeatedly sexually assault a young child while filming the abuse was revolting and unforgivable.
"If that wasn't bad enough, she then shared this footage online with another like minded person with a sexual interest in children.
"Further indecent images of children were also linked to Hargreaves, along with a series of other voyeuristic videos she'd recorded.
"Her list of offending was absolutely disgusting, so I hope the victims can recover whilst she carries out her prison sentence."
