Thank god. What a sick duck.

Catfish killer Alexander McCartney jailed for minimum of 20 years

The 26-year-old, from Newry, is believed to have around 3,500 child victims across more than 30 countries.

Hope he rots.

His parents must be pretty ashamed even if he isn't. Glad he's been publicly exposed.

Absolutely sickening. Minimum of 20 years is not long enough. How can you rehabilitate someone like this?

He should be charged with the manslaughter of the girl’s father who also committed suicide afterwards. He caused both of their deaths.

The BBC coverage mentioned the abuse involved family pets as well.. those poor children and animals. What a depraved, vile monster

Apparently his mum bought him new devices after his were taken by police on his first arrest

It’s pissing me off that they’re calling him a catfisher. Hes a peadophile. He should never be released.

the fact a lot of his victims were gay/questioning their sexuality is so upsetting. That could've been me much younger. Being a lesbian is so isolating sometimes the only way you can find other girls is online
I wonder is there something about these paedos doing this virtually (matthew falder, david wilson) that makes them think they're not actually paedos because they haven't physically touched the child. And the fact they can't physically see the child makes them not real to them.

Watching the BBC documentary last night, his friend said Alex’s mum told him “things will come out about Alex and you NEED to stand by him” wtf! The mother is off

That documentary really got me. Quarter of a million "first generation" images which means they've never been seen before by police he had in his possession. 3,500 potential victims and only 4 have come forward. So many lives ruined by one person. He dedicated all his time to this like an addiction. So scary that there might be more like him out there
