A depraved university academic has today been jailed for 32 years after admitting 137 ‘hurt core’ charges.

Cambridge University graduate Dr Matthew Falder, who called himself ‘evilmind’ and ‘666devil’ during years of horrific online offending, closed his eyes as he was sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court.

He was given a 32 year prison sentence with an extended period of six years on licence. He was also made the subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and placed on the sex offenders' register.

The geophysicist, 29, of Edgbaston, Birmingham, who is originally from Cheshire, admitted the huge number of counts – which included encouraging the rape of a four-year-old boy – after a tenacious National Crime Agency (NCA) investigation.

Falder boasted that he would never be caught and said he did not care if his victims lived or died. He approached more than 300 people worldwide with 45 victims represented on the court indictment against him.

Judging by the context of the article, I'd assume 'hurtcore' is something like finding sexual pleasure in seeing people tortured. His crimes seem to indicate that to be that case anyway.

That sentence doesn't seem lengthy enough in my eyes.
