A sick father has been arrested for allegedly live-streaming himself abusing his own daughter for crypto.
Police say he broadcast the abuse through a live-streaming app to twisted viewers who sent him virtual coins in return.
He then redeemed the coins on the site for gifts and increased visibility.

Footage of the man’s arrest was shared by Spain’s National Police on Friday (6 Feb).
He could be seen being led out of a block of flats in handcuffs, flanked by two officers, in Madrid, Spain.
The investigation began in late November after an anonymous tip was sent to a dedicated police inbox for reporting child pornography.
Officers discovered that the suspect used private live-streaming rooms to attract viewers with photos of himself lying on a bed with his underage daughter as bait.
After contacting them through an external messaging app, he live-streamed the sexual abuse in exchange for virtual coins.
Police tracked and identified the man, leading to his arrest, as reported by Need To Know.
Two mobile phones containing large amounts of pornographic material were seized from his flat.
The National Police said: “After being handed over to the judicial authorities as the alleged perpetrator of child corruption offences, including the production, possession, and distribution of child pornography and sexual assault, he was ordered to be taken into immediate custody.”
