A twisted girlfriend found a toddler for her paedophile lover to abuse to live out his child sex fantasies.
Shannon Vicary, 24, secretly plotted for the couple to be alone with the girl - so her older boyfriend could carry out the attacks.
A court heard she was 'anxious to assist' Michael Colmer's sex abuse desires and 'encouraged' him in a series of vile Whatsapp messages.
Colmer, 45, filmed two attacks on his
iPad and was only caught after police found he accessed child sex abuse sites on his computer.
The child's mother said her family had been left 'devastated' after learning of the couple's abuse.
Prosecutor Matthew Cobbe said: 'There were messages between the couple in which they were eagerly anticipating the opportunity to abuse the child.
'It began with a commentary on a photograph of children in school uniforms of a young age and that commentary became sexual.
'Colmer sent Vicary a picture of his penis and made references to what they were going to do the next day.'
Cardiff Crown Court heard heard Vicary contrived situations which enabled Colmer to be alone with his victim on two occasions, while her mother was unaware of what was going on.
Mr Cobbe told the court that the victim - who cannot be named for legal reasons - was 'extremely vulnerable due to her youth'.
Colmer's home was raided by police after National Crime Agency discovered an email address at the house had accessed indecent images.
Colmer told officers: 'You'll find them on my phone and on my iPad.'
The court heard Colmer had more than 600 abuse images of children on his devices including many under the age of 18 months.
