A teenager turned into a virtual sex slave by a sadistic online blackmailer flew over from America to confront her tormentor as he was jailed.
Once internet predator Daniel Howarth had nude images of his victim, he was able to control her - even though she lived in Georgia, USA, and he lived in north Manchester.
The court heard he made two victims, including a young boy, perform 'bizarre and degrading acts' and film them on a web cam.

Daniel Howarth, 18, was jailed for four years and must remain on licence until 2021 following his campiagn of abuse against two young victims
Quote:
His 15-year-old female victim suffered from depression, and had just started a new school when the campaign of domination and abuse began.
Both victims were made to perform extremely degrading and bizarre acts on a camera, over the internet, at Howarth's instruction
Howarth, 18, of Grange Park Road, Blackley, was sentenced to four years in prison, and will remain on licence until 2024.
The judge said the female victim had been 'utterly trapped' by him and 'completely overwhelmed'.
In a disturbing twist, police learnt Howarth had actually set up an online mental health and self-harm support forum, which would have given him access to a pool of vulnerable victims.

However it was on the popular social networking site Kik that Howarth found his two victims. On November 1, 2014, the girl entered into a private chat with him on the app, which lasted all night and resulted in them swapping intimate photos.
He promised her support and friendship, but days later became angry when she hesitated to send him more explicit pictures, which led to her giving in and sending more.
Once he had the images, Howarth threatened to send the photographs to her school if she did not obey him.
Over the next three months he ordered her not to shower, to become 'nocturnal', to eat coffee and her own hair, and to drink her own urine.
He forced her to send him images of herself performing sex acts and writing abusive phrases across her body.
At one stage he even manipulated her into contacting other men online, and pretend she liked them, before ridiculing them.
He threatened to fly to the US and 'beat and rape' her in front of her family - and once made her take 100 pictures of herself in one night as a 'punishment'.

At Manchester Crown Court (pictured) Judge Richard Mansell QC sentenced Howarth to four years in prison, and to remain on licence until 2024
Quote:
Howarth was traced by police via his IP address after the girl finally broke down and confided in a friend and a teacher.
When police went to Howarth's home they found an iPhone containing child and extreme ****ography, and an iPad which revealed his abuse of the 15-year-old boy over the web in March 2015.
The male victim had been made to perform a number of degrading sex acts, and had been coaxed by Howarth into drinking his own urine, filling his mouth with toilet paper, and eating his own faeces and smearing it over his face.
He also injured himself with wire and knives at Howarth's instruction.
His American victim has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, and has been forced to drop out of school. Her 'devastated' mother has also been forced to quit her job to care for her daughter.
Sentencing Howarth, who admitted inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, inciting a child to engage in ****ography, possessing indecent images of children and possessing extreme ****ographic images, Judge Richard Mansell QC described him as an 'extremely troubled young man'.
