Both Compton and Turner shook their heads as graphic details of the messages they sent to each other were read out.

Mr Cobbe said the pair exchanged messages where they discuss the possibility of going to a festival or camping, so they could “be around” families with young children.

“Turner suggests a family festival, not too expensive,” Mr Cobbe said.

In the messages, Compton described it as a great idea, commenting he would like to go to a “hippy one, where lots of drugs consumed leaving unattended girls”.

“That’s genius babe,” Compton added.

Judge Lloyd-Clarke said the messages were “not pure fantasy” and they both clearly intended to carry out brutal abuse, as they had “carefully identified” a location for one of the rapes to take place.

She added their actions had “devastated the families” of the children.
