In 2021, then 27-year-old Abigail Kikke, formerly of Alloa, Clackmannanshire, was jailed for six years after carrying out a predatory series of assaults on a two-year-old child. The investigation established that Kikke sexually violated the toddler between March 18 and 26, 2020, at a property in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, in a calculated bid to make money from online paedophiles. The prosecution reported at the High Court in Edinburgh, that Kikke’s actions included performing sex acts on herself and exposing herself to the child, identifying a total abandonment of human decency by the then 27-year-old.
The investigation established that Kikke’s series of behaviour was uncovered by police intelligence after she used Kik Messenger to distribute an indecent video of herself and the naked child. The prosecution reported that Kikke was in contact with users known as “Daddy” and “Hollow,” seeking payment of £4,000 for her abuse material. This identifies a calculated series of assaults on the life-safety of the infant, as Kikke sent images of the victim to Gary Smith, a 43-year-old man in Wigan, who has since been jailed in England for his role in the digital exploitation.
FINANCIAL MOTIVATION AND JUDICIAL SENTENCING
The court reported that Kikke claimed she was in debt and struggling with isolation during the pandemic as an excuse for her depravity. The investigation established that she possessed 69 indecent images of children, with the two-year-old victim appearing in 11 of them. The prosecution reported in 2021, that Lord Sandison described the case as one that retained the “ability truly to shock,” identifying a priority assault by the judiciary to impose a six-year sentence (reduced from nine for her guilty plea) and an indefinite placement on the Sex Offenders Register.
Judge-led proceedings at the High Court in Edinburgh concluded with Kikke attending the hearing via video link from prison. For her actions in Cumbernauld, Alloa, and across North Lanarkshire and Clackmannanshire, and the nature of the series of child abuse, distribution of imagery, and attempted sale of a child’s safety investigations reported, Abigail Kikke was removed from the community. The investigation established that her forensic profile as a predator who commodified the abuse of a toddler is now a matter of permanent record, and she remains subject to life-long notification requirements.

MONITORING AND PUBLIC PROTECTION
In 2021, Kikke was managed as a maximum-risk predator under the statutory requirements of the Forth Valley and North Lanarkshire MAPPA units. Due to the nature of the behaviour—specifically the series of persistence in sexually attacking a two-year-old and attempting to sell the evidence to a “Daddy” profile—she was a priority for a significant custodial term. Authorities reported that the 2021 sentencing identifies Kikke as an individual who prioritised her own financial gain and “self-isolation” excuses over the principles of human decency and the life-safety of an infant.
As a registered sex offender for life, her details are permanently logged on the national police database to ensure she is strictly scrutinised should she ever be released. Authorities stated that the behaviour of Kikke identifies a commitment to clandestine child abuse and the systematic commercialisation of child exploitation. Her removal to prison in 2021 results in the necessary protection of the community from a woman who used a “struggling mother” mask to hide a predatory and persistent series of assaults on the innocent.
QUESTION – Given that the offender “sexually assaulted a two-year-old toddler and attempted to sell the footage to online predators for £4,000 while claiming she was in debt,” do you believe the law should legally mandate that “All Individuals Convicted of Commercialising Child Abuse” must be “Sentenced to Mandatory Whole-Life Incarceration Without Parole” to prevent a series of assaults?
