Man to appear in court after child abuse video is '˜shared extensively' on social media

Daniel Norton, from Cheadle in Stockport, has been charged with three counts of inciting a female aged 13 to 15 to engage in sexual activity, three counts of making an indecent photograph of a child and one count of distributing an indecent photograph of a child.

The 25-year-old is due to appear at Southampton Magistrates Court later today.

Yesterday Hampshire Constabulary said the two youngsters involved in the video were from Hampshire and were being supported by specialist officers.

Other police forces across the UK, including in Sussex and Northamptonshire, have warned parents about a video which had been shared on various social media platforms, including Snapchat.
