Investigators were unable to identify Martyn Armstrong for almost a decade due to his face being blurred in images. But the new software enabled officers to identify the paedophile's Facebook profile.
A prolific and"evil" child rapist has been jailed for life after he was unmasked by technology which unpixellated an image of his face discovered in photos he took of himself abusing his victims.
Prosecutor Roger Griffiths told Cardiff Crown Court that Armstrong had taken the images of him abusing children between 2005 and 2007, and between 16 December 2009 and 6 February 2011, and had admitted to taking photos of a third child on a beach in 2010. Due to his face being blurred, investigators were unable to identify the paedophile for almost a decade, despite attempts by law enforcement partners from Australia, Italy and France.
