24-year-old Lewis Edwards refused to attend court for the second day of his sentencing hearing.
A police officer who blackmailed teenage girls into performing sex acts on themselves begged the father of one of his victims not to report him to the authorities, a court has heard.
He then used the recordings to blackmail his victims into sending increasingly graphic content - threatening to share the images online and tell their family and friends.On the second day of the sentence hearing, Roger Griffiths, prosecuting, said one victim told her father that she had sent Edwards an indecent image via Snapchat and he was asking for more and threatening to share it if she did not comply.
"From there he sensed the individual seemed to panic. They begged 'Please don't say anything I won't share then. I won't do anything'. But that was not the last the family heard from Edwards, the court was told. "To her new Snapchat account she received a friend request and she believed this to be a girl at her school."He said 'Send me more nudes. I'll release the photos/send them your friend'. It began escalating.Police officer made 4,500 indecent images of children grooming them on Snapchat
