Speaking after the sentencing, South Yorkshire Police Investigation Officer Julie Towers, who led the investigation said: “This is a fantastic result and Khuu is now behind bars because of sharing a harrowing video of a child and keeping indecent images on his phone.

“This result shows how committed South Yorkshire Police is as a force to stopping the possession and distribution of indecent images. The work we do also protects children from sexual abuse and those who seek to do them harm.
