Every now and again we post up a completely awful and repulsive story on Sick Chirpse that makes me truly despair of being alive and you’ve guessed it, this is one of those times.

We’re up in Wigan for this one where 31 year old Tashan Gallagher has been jailed for 15 years after he admitted to a whole load of offences involving the sexual assault of a child. Gallagher admitted to rape, three counts of sexual assault, one of assault by penetration, five counts of making indecent images, two of distributing indecent images of children and two of possessing indecent images of children, but it gets even worse.

In a bizarre turn of events that I don’t really understand the lawyer who was prosecuting him Juliet Berry said the following:

He said he did not have a sexual interest in children but gained gratification by communicating with others who did.

He wanted to join a paedophile organisation which was limited to 1,000 members but in order to gain admittance he had to upload original videos of children being abused.

He posted a 14 second clip of him assaulting a three month old girl, but said he regretted his actions and deleted the app to that particular site.

But a month later he raped the baby and uploaded the footage to rejoin the club before deleting it again.

He repeated this cycle three further times.

Ugh. Obviously that’s repulsive but it just sounds so weird to me that the prosecutor would be trying to defend his actions by saying he wasn’t interested in raping kids – even though he did a whole bunch of times – but just wanted to communicate with those that did? That’s a really weird way to go about things isn’t it? And then actually do it to get into the gang? Don’t understand that at all. Really really weird and really really grim as well.

Gallagher has now been jailed for 15 years, but sadly the images and videos that he created are still out there being enjoyed by paedophiles in these shadowy organisations. Dunno if they’ll ever be fully retrieved sadly. Sick.

For more of the same, check out this guy who’s openly admitted to being a paedophile whilst running for government in the US. Why would you do that?
