A man and his wife are being made to pay for allegedly assaulting a little baby whom they were babysitting in their home.
The accused couple, Michael and Cara Chase
The husband and wife accused of sexually assaulting a 13-month-old toddler they were babysitting have been found guilty. The case has even been described by detectives as "every parent's worst nightmare".
According to Mirror Online, Michael and Lara Chase, from Cambridgeshire, took pictures as they abused the baby.
When they were arraigned, Michael Chase, 52, pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault and possession of indecent and extreme images last November.
However his wife denied the offences.
But a jury dismissed her claims and found her guilty of two counts of sexual assault and the distribution of indecent images which Michael had already admitted taking
During a trial at Peterborough Crown Court, she claimed they are now separated and that she would like to see her husband "hung, drawn and quartered."
Photos used during the trial included the victim being sexually assaulted by Michael Chase, with the jury deciding that Lara had been assisting him in his actions.
Lara repeatedly insisted in court that she had been unaware of the incriminating photographs of her husband and the victim.
Sally Hobson, prosecuting, asked if she had known that her husband was taking photos of the victim with the flash on while all three of them were in the same room.
But Lara, 46, stated that the first she knew of any indecent images was during her first police interview.
Detective Constable Lloyd Metselaar from Cambridgeshire Police said: "I am pleased that the family of the victim in this case have received justice for what can only be described as every parent's worst nightmare'.
"The appalling acts committed together by both Mr and Mrs Chase on such a young child, who had been entrusted in their care, demonstrate the most serious breach of trust.
"This case demonstrates the determination and dedication of Cambridgeshire's specially trained officers who will bring to justice anyone involved in targeting the most vulnerable of society."
Both Michael and Lara Chase will be sentenced tomorrow.
