Police raided a Staffordshire paedophile's home after he uploaded a child porn video to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
When officers analysed Brendan O'Brien's mobile phone they also discovered that the offender had 'disgusting' images of himself sexually abusing a dog.
The 21-year-old had also created another social media account on Telegram, an alternative platform to X. On this platform he pretended to be a 12-year-old girl and used this persona to try to get more videos and pictures of children, Stafford Crown Court heard.
O'Brien, 21, of Wolsey Road, Lichfield, pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children, aged between three and thirteen, and one count of possessing images portraying an act of intercourse with an alive animal.
Prosecutor Emma Rutherford told Stafford Crown Court: "On August 31, last year officers received intelligence a Twitter account linked to the defendant uploaded an indecent video of a child.
