A COMMUNITY care worker was found guilty today of sexually assaulting a baby and allowing her boyfriend to take photographs of the abuse on his mobile phone.
Winchester Crown Court heard that Tracy Dawber, 44, let convicted paedophile Colin Blanchard take the photos at her home in Southport, Merseyside, in 2008 as she assaulted the baby on her sofa.
Dawber was found guilty of one count of sexually assaulting a child and five counts of permitting indecent photographs of a child to be taken.
She had denied the charges but Blanchard told the court she had taken the lead in the abuse.
Blanchard, 40, of Rochdale in Greater Manchester, previously admitted being involved in the assault, the jury was told.
He also admitted he had been involved with other women, including Vanessa George.
George was jailed at Bristol Crown Court last year for abusing children while working at a Plymouth nursery.
