Vanessa George sent picture of her own daughter naked to internet paedophile ring



Vanessa George admitted the charges and will be sentenced on Tuesday



Nursery paedophile Vanessa George took a picture of her naked eldest daughter and sent it on to an online paedophile ring.



Pearl George was snapped by her 18-stone mother as she darted out of the shower in search of a towel in May last year, just a month before her arrest.



George, who has since pleaded guilty to sexually abusing children and babies in her care, even captioned the picture with what police say were ‘disgusting comments of a sexual nature’.



Pearl, now 15, told The News of the World of her disgust at what her mother had done: ‘I want people to know why I really hate and despise her so much.



‘A mother is supposed to be there for her daughter, isn’t she? Not betray her.



‘What she inflicted on those unfortunate babies and toddlers at the nursery was wicked, but to then discover she had no conscience about exploiting me, her own flesh and blood, was awful.’



Pearl had no idea about her mother’s double life until she was arrested and charged with abusing children at Little Ted’s nursery in Plymouth where she worked.



She only learned about the existence of the sick photo of herself after police told her father, Andrew.



He said: ‘Our hearts go out to the families of the children Vanessa abused, but I hope people will also realise that we are also victims, especially after the way she humiliated and took advantage of our daughter.’

George is expected to be sentenced on Tuesday along with Angela Allen and Colin Blanchard who both also admitted a string of offences.



Another woman was also arrested over her alleged involvement in a Facebook paedophile ring.

Tracy Lyons is alleged to have sent a video to Blanchard, an online accomplice of George’s. The nursery worker has been charged with sexually assaulting a child.



Lyons recently gave birth to her ninth child while in custody.



The shocking news comes as an investigation by the Independent On Sunday revealed a series of websites that promote female-perpetrated child abuse as 'natural, educational and enjoyable' for children.



User profiles on one website monitored by the newspaper claimed to be those of teachers, doctors and retired grandmothers who list interests in 'young girls' and 'lesbian incest'.



The posts - assuming they have not been made by men - are evidence that female abusers are not anomalies or forced into such depravity by abusive men, the report claims.



Dr Anne Carpenter, a clinical and forensic psychologist in Glasgow, said: 'The internet is presenting clinicians with completely new dilemmas and new questions.

'We don't know if interaction on these websites translates into offences, but while many may be able to stop at the fantasy level, we cannot ignore these sites and assume people won't act on these fantasies.



'They may be fewer in number, but women are as accountable for their actions as men.'
