3:22Now PlayingAn NHS manager who sexually abused and raped young girls after grooming them on Snapchat has been jailed for 28 years.
Paul Lipscombe was sentenced after he admitted to sexual grooming, sexual assault and two counts of rape of a child under 13, in a case described as "shocking and terrifying" by detectives.
Lipscombe, 51, who is believed to have earned at least £91,000 a year as an associate director of NHS performance in Coventry, UK, ferried his victims to rented hotels and Airbnbs in a Tesla.
A 15-year-old girl, who was one of six children groomed by Lipscombe in Leicestershire, Norfolk and Lincolnshire, told the BBC she wants facial recognition brought in so predatory adults can't get access to young people on the app.
Snapchat said it was committed to combatting sexual exploitation of young people and worked with law enforcement to help keep "such activity off our platform".
