A woman has been convicted of sexually assaulting a five-month-old baby while her paedophile boyfriend took indecent pictures of the abuse.

Tracy Dawber, 44, formerly of Southport on Merseyside, had pleaded not guilty at Winchester Crown Court.

Her now ex-boyfriend Colin Blanchard, 40, formerly of Rochdale, previously admitted being involved in the assault.

Dawber is the fifth member of Blanchard's paedophile ring to face justice.

Plymouth nursery worker Vanessa George and former prostitute Angela Allen, from Nottingham, were sentenced at Bristol Crown Court for a string of sexual assaults and making and distributing indecent images of children last year.

Tracy Lyons, a mother of nine from Portsmouth, has previously admitted two counts of sexually abusing a toddler.

Dawber, Blanchard and Lyons are due to be sentenced at a later date.
