Sick Kraigen Grooms, 19, was sentenced on Monday after pleading guilty to abusing the little girl.

Investigators discovered the paedophile after finding a video of child pornography online.

It emerged he had filmed the disgusting act while he directly streamed it to an unidentified viewer on the internet.

When he was arrested in 2014 – aged just 17, police said the attack was premeditated and warned he may have been targeting another victim.

Grooms was 16 when he abused the baby, but it was agreed by the courts to treat him as an adult.

The girl was identified by police to be between 12 and 18 months old.

Delays to his trial meant he was held in juvenile detention and then in jail for two years until he appeared before the court.

The judge gave the offender a 10-year suspended prison sentence – allowing Grooms to walk free from the Wapello County Courthouse.

He will be required to sign the sex offender register for life after pleading guilty to lascivious acts with a minor.

He underwent multiple psychological examinations while awaiting trial.
