The former rock star was described by a prosecutor as a "determined and committed paedophile" when he pleaded guilty to a series of charges last month.

In a series of text and internet messages, the 36-year-old paedophile plotted with two female groupies to abuse their children.

As well as sexually touching an 11-month-old baby alongside the child's mother, he encouraged another woman to abuse her own child during a webcam chat.
