British woman jailed for sexually abusing her children online while in North Cyprus

A 30-year-old British woman who sexually abused her own children online in return for money from paedophiles while living in North Cyprus has been jailed in the UK.

The woman identified as Jodie Little was sentenced to 12 years and four months at Isleworth Crown Court in London, the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) announced on Wednesday last week.

It came almost a year to the day after she was deported from the TRNC, where she had lived illegally for three years.

She is originally from Huddersfield, had been arrested by Turkish Cypriot police during a raid of her address in August 2018, two months after they received intelligence from the NCA.

She reportedly used the online names “devil bitch 666” and “Queen of Tabbo”, according to the NCA. 

She admitted sexual activity with a boy under 13; three counts of distributing an indecent photograph/pseudo-photograph of a child; publishing an obscene article describing child rape; publishing an advert offering videos of child sexual abuse for sale; conspiracy to sexually assault a boy under 13 by touching; causing a child to engage in sexual activity; and sexually assaulting a girl under 13 by touching, the NCA said.

Of the nine offences, Little was convicted of eight using Section 72 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 – legislation which allows British nationals to be prosecuted in the UK for offences committed overseas.

She committed the offences on a website providing adult escort and webcam services from her home in Bahçeli.
