A Cambridgeshire couple who sexually abused a child have been jailed for their crimes. Karl Robinson, aged 29, was arrested for making indecent images of children following a tip-off to the National Crime Agency (NCA) about the sharing of indecent images of children online by authorities in New Zealand.

Following his arrest, in September 22, examination of his devices uncovered a video of Sophie Eason Edge, aged 28, abusing a child.

The pair were arrested again and Robinson was found to have 537 indecent images of children across his electronic devices. On Friday (September) 27, at Cambridge Crown Court, Robinson, of Calvin Close, Cottenham, South Cambridgeshire, was jailed for nine years, having pleaded guilty to five counts of making indecent images of children and two counts of sexual assault of a child under 13.

He will serve a further six years on extended licence and was given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for 20 years. Eason Edge, also of Calvin Close, Cottenham, was jailed for four years, having pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a child under 13 and making indecent images of children.

She will have to serve six years on extended licence and was also handed a 20-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

Detective Inspector George Neal, of Cambridgeshire Police said: “This was an horrific case which has ended in long sentences, custodial and then on licence, for both Robinson and Eason Edge. I am pleased it has been recognised how dangerous these two are, and that they can no longer inflict that harm on others”.
