These sex predators have all been before Sheffield judges and handed custodial sentences during the last few months of this year.
Some of them are hardened sex offenders known to have breached orders protecting the public from their perverse ways in the past.
In some cases they have raped children following online grooming, while others have been snared online by decoys posing as children and many have been caught with terrible images of child sexual abuse.
However all of them have been found a risk to children.

Sheffield Crown Court heard numerous ones showed depraved Normington, 26, performing sex acts upon them. Police were able to identify Normington as their abuser by examining his hands, which could be seen in the imagery. | SYP
