Alexander McCartney was jailed for at least 20 years in October for child sex offences.

He posed as a teenage girl called Chloe to trick Emily and others into sending photos.

He would then use a pre-typed message to reveal himself as an online predator.

Emily (not her real name) was 14 and living in Oregon , in the US , when she was targeted.

She is among three of his victims to have spoken to the makers of a BBC Three documentary.

Teen Predator/Online Killer is available on BBC iPlayer . It is a co-commission for BBC Northern Ireland and BBC Three by DoubleBand Films .

Detectives, prosecutors and victims told the documentary-makers how important it was that anyone suffering online abuse should feel able to report it..
