This is the face of a twisted Snapchat paedophile every parent should know as his sickening crimes across the UK are exposed by police. Matthew Reilly was jailed for nine years after admitting a total of 34 sex offences. The Halesowen predator, who was a registered sex offender, posed as a 15-year-old boy on Snapchat in order to communicate sexually with girls as young as 11.
Police identified 40 victims across 27 different force areas within England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as he was caught for his crimes. The 39-year-old told some of the victims he could "get them onto the subscription platform OnlyFans" where they could earn money from their content, police said. He also sent explicit images to some of the girls and coaxed one into performing a sex act.
