Barrister Harry Laidlaw, prosecuting, told the judge that Lancashire had been arrested in September.<\/p>\n
Laidlaw said her offences were revealed after a man she was in contact with online was arrested.<\/p>\n
He said she had distributed category A images – the most serious category – four times.<\/p>\n
One featured a child who appeared to be aged under two being sexually abused.<\/p>\n
She had been in contact with people who used usernames including “Mr Bad” and “Pervert”, the judge was told.<\/p>\n
Laidlaw said Lancashire had been in possession of more than 150 images – 113 of which were category A.<\/p>\n
He said she had, in messages, claimed to have abused children in her care – but had not been charged with any offences relating to children in her care.<\/p>\n
Laidlaw said Lancashire had been given safeguarding training and told the judge: “She was more aware than the normal person of abuse – she was more aware of safeguarding.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barrister Harry Laidlaw, prosecuting, told the judge that Lancashire had been arrested in September.
