Aoife, from South Lanarkshire, was 15 when she was targeted by predator Jordan Croft, 26, on a social media site.
A Scots schoolgirl who was blackmailed into joining a prolific paedophile’s online “sex slave” network has called on tech giants to act fast on a new safety bill.
Aoife told the Record how she was groomed by vile Croft on Yubo, before being asked to move to messenger site Telegram. “I realised I was in trouble. I was petrified. It’s something you just don’t want your mum and dad, or anyone, to find out about.” In November, she bravely faced Croft in court, who was described as an “extremely dangerous”, “serial paedophile”.Croft had refused to hand over passwords to any of his accounts and it took investigators six months to break the encryption.
And a week ago, after years of campaigning by charities like the NSPCC, ministers finally cleared flagship legislation in the House of Lords which they claim will make the UK the safest place in the world to be online.
