Armstrong posted a distorted video of him raping a child on the dark web but the National Crime Agency was able to identify him using new software.Armstrong, formerly of Derbyshire, also admitted sexual assault, causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, and indecent images of children offences.
She added Armstrong did "not have the proper understanding of the impact of the offending" and "paedophiles around the world continue to view the images for their sexual gratification".

It was the first time this technology had been resulted in a successful prosecution anywhere in the world, the NCA said.The NCA worked with law enforcement agencies in Australia, Italy and France in order to bring Armstrong to justice. An officer in France was able to identify the precise beach location in Wales where some of the images had been taken.
