A Cumbernauld woman faces jail after sending indecent images of a two-year-old girl to a man who offered her £5,000.

Abigail Kikke was supposedly looking after the child - but claimed the pandemic left her in a "dark place."

Kikke abused the child and was also in contact with a convicted sex offender online.

The 27-year-old was also snared with 69 images at her mother's home in Condorrat, in March 2020.

The young girl appeared in 11 of the still and moving images.

Kikke pled guilty at the High Court in Glasgow to sexually assaulting the girl and distributing images of her and other children.

Kikke also admitted taking or permitting to be taken indecent images of children and possession of indecent photographs.

The court heard police received intelligence that Kikke had used social networking app 'Kik' to distribute indecent images of the girl.

The other images contained on the phone showed children as young as three to four years old to 14-years-old.

Kikke was also found to have chatted to another internet user known as 'Hollow' who asked her to perform sex acts on the girl.

Miss Maguire added: “She told 'Hollow' that she sent 'Daddy' images of her and the girl and that he was willing to pay her £4,000.

“During their conversation she told him she was in debt, self isolating and struggling with no human contact other than phone.

Miss Maguire added: “The user has been identified as 43-year-old man Gary Smith, who lived in Wigan.

“He has since been convicted at Bolton Crown Court of sexual offences including ones arising from his conversation with Kikke.

“He was sentenced to six months for distribution of images and attempting to arrange or facilitate the commission of a child sex offence which he received 32 months imprisonment.”

Ronnie Renucci QC, defending, told the court Kikke appreciates that a custodial sentence is “inevitable.”

He added: “These offences took place at a black point in her life.”

Sentence was deferred until October pending background reports by judge Lord Sandison.

Kikke, now of Alloa, Clackmannanshire, showed no emotion as she was remanded in custody meantime.
