Matthew Falder: One of Britain's worst paedophiles WINS appeal to cut 32-year jail term
The Cambridge graduate was locked up earlier this year after admitting 137 offences, including voyeurism, encouraging child rape, and sharing images showing the abuse of a newborn baby
One of Britain's most prolific paedophiles who blackmailed a string of vulnerable victims has had his prison sentence reduced.
Matthew Falder was initially jailed for 32 years but today Court of Appeal judges reduced this by seven years to 25 instead.
Bespectacled Falder watched the proceedings via video link from prison.
The Cambridge graduate previously admitted 137 offences, including voyeurism, encouraging child rape, and sharing images showing the abuse of a newborn baby.
He was exposed following an international inquiry led by the National Crime Agency (NCA).
Falder, from Birmingham, committed his offences over nearly 10 years, manipulating victims "behind a computer screen" by duping them into providing nude and degrading images, as well as personal details.
