A UK court has sentenced Alexander McCartney, a 26-year-old man from Northern Ireland, to 20 years in prison for online child abuse. He admitted to 185 charges, including blackmail and producing indecent images of children. The victims include girls aged between 10 and 16 from the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. The case is considered one of the largest "catfishing" cases in the world.
