A British paedophile who raped and sexually assaulted young children and posted images of the abuse on the darkweb in 2010 has been jailed for life after an international investigation finally tracked him down.

Martyn Armstrong, 50, pleaded guilty to a string of offences, including 20 counts of raping a child under the age of 13, and was jailed for life—with a minimum term of 14 years—at Cardiff Crown Court on Wednesday.
