A former deputy head teacher at a London primary school was sentenced to 12-year jail term on August 9 after he pleaded guilty for paying and instruction teens in India to abuse younger kids.

Matthew Smith, 35, from East Dulwich in south London was arrested by the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) in November last year after its investigators identified that he was sharing abuse material on the dark web and has now been sentenced at Southwark Crown Court in London.

According to the NCA, Smith was online at the time of his arrest, speaking to a teenage boy living in India and asking him to send sexual images of a younger child, in return for money. He also had dark web sites and forums open on his computer which were dedicated to child sexual abuse.
