September 2020 Sick paedophile with username ‘AmySl*t’ wanted to abuse ‘crying pre-teen’ A paedophile who used a pseudonym called “AmySlut” said he wanted to abuse a “crying pre-teen”. Jack Adcock, 25, spoke about his sick fantasy online after he was told by another paedophile that he had sexually abused a 10-year-old. Adcock, of Ullet Road, Sefton Park responded enthusiastically, expressing his own wish to abuse a “crying pre-teen”. He claimed his obsession began after he searched for adult porn and “became embroiled” in images of child abuse and rape Gerald Baxter, prosecuting, told Liverpool Crown Court how police obtained information that at an address on Evesham Road child abuse images were being accessed. Mr Baxter said: “When police told him why they were there he said ‘Yes, I know what you’re talking about but I don’t but I don’t want to talk anymore without legal advice.'” As officers searched the property Adcock told them they didn’t need to search his girlfriend’s devices but admitted they would need his phone and their shared laptop. Adcock wasn’t arrested at that point, but two laptops and his mobile phone were seized. On the devices, officers discovered 114 images of children being raped, 319 other images of children being sexually abused. Officers also found two extreme pornographic images involving animals on his phone. Mr Baxter described to the court the “rather unpleasant” exchange which was found between the two paedophiles. In it, Adcock explained he used the fake name “AmySlut” for “hustle”. Mr Baxter confirmed that the devices contained sophisticated software designed to delete internet history and a browser which could access the dark web. Adcock was arrested in February last year and charged with three counts of making an indecent photograph of a child, possessing an indecent image of a child, possessing a prohibited image of a child, two counts of distributing indecent images of children and possessing extreme pornographic images of animals. Judge Stuart Driver, QC, said: “I have been asked to suspend the sentence and I take into account the points made in particular those about the possibility of rehabilitation. “In my judgement, the facts of this individual case mean that appropriate punishment could only be immediate custody.” Adcock was handed a prison sentence of 16 months, of which he will serve half behind bars and half while on licence. He was also handed a sexual harm prevention order which will last for 10 years, and must sign the sex offenders register for 10 years.
