A PAEDO mum nicknamed “Rosie Cheek” used her bondage website to hide a sickening haul of child abuse images.
Julie Barnes, 57, was held following a raid at her home in Widnes, Cheshire, after officers were tipped off about the indecent images.

Barnes treed claiming the pictures had been sent to her X-rated social media site Rosie Cheek 5268 by fans.
But she is now facing jail after eventually pleading guilty to five charges between March 1, 2018, and December 23, 2021.
Barnes admitted being in possession of 47 indecent photos of children and to separate charges of possessing six photos in the most serious category A, eight in category B, and 33 of category C.
The paedo also pleaded guilty to possession of three prohibited images Warrington Magistrates’ Court.
JPs were told Cheshire Police were notified about the images on Barnes’ Facebook bondage site in June 2021.
Officers managed to get her home address from from an internet provider and swooped on the property.
Two mobiles were seized during the raid with images found on the phone belonging to her.
Barnes, who uses two walking sticks, was invited for an interview due to her “poor health”.
While being quizzed by cops, she accepted possessing the indecent images.
But Angela Blackmore, prosecuting, said: “She said she did not seek the images out but they were sent to her fetish Facebook page.
“She had been sent a large amount of sexual images due to the nature of the account.
“When asked specific questions she chose to make no comment.
“She confirmed in an interview that she’d had no contact with children.”
Barnes’ own personal Facebook page shows slave-themed bondage photos.
There is also an image of a cat-o-nine tails with the caption: “‘I want it.. beautiful.”
Barnes, who was supported in court by her daughter, will be sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court on February 23.
She was bailed under the condition she does not have any unsupervised contact with a child under the age of 16 and does not live or enter or remain in a household where any child under the age of 16 is present.
The mum must also inform police of any device she has capable of accessing the internet for inspection.
