Hugh Nelson , 27 , from Bolton , was convicted of 16 child sexual abuse offences.

He used Daz 3D , a computer programme with an AI function, to transform 'normal' images of children.

In some cases, paedophiles had commissioned the images, supplying photographs of children with whom they had contact in real life.

He was also found guilty of encouraging other offenders to commit rape.

Judge said it was “impossible to know’ if children had been raped as a result of his images.

As well as advances in technology, changes in behaviour in recent years have made policing the internet offences more difficult.

“ Covid has had a massive effect in the online space,” Tattersall said.

She said the Nelson case “sends a clear message to criminals that you might use technology, and manipulate things, and test the flex of the law, but actually we are still going to prosecute you.
