, before moving to private groups on the messaging app Telegram.

Worcester Crown Court heard that the 56-year-old played a major role in an online group that paid for baby monkeys to be taken from their mothers, then tortured, and *******, for pleasure.

Orme, from Upton Upon Severn, Worcestershire, was charged with publishing an obscene article and intentionally encouraging or assisting an offence, namely causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.

Ormes will be sentenced at Worcester Crown Court on 25 October, alongside another woman, Holly Le Gresley, 37, from Kidderminster, who also admitted being part of the group.

Warning: This article contains disturbing content

BBC journalists went undercover in one of the main Telegram ******** groups, where hundreds of people gathered to come up with extreme ******** ideas and commission people in Indonesia and other ****** countries to carry them out.

The goal was to create bespoke films in which baby long-tailed macaque monkeys were abused, tortured and sometimes then ******* on film.

In relation to the charge of publishing an obscene article, Orme was accused of sending one image and 26 videos featuring monkey ******** into chat groups, between 14 March 2022 and 16 June 2022.

The charge of encouraging an offence involved a £10 payment by Orme to a

Le Gresley admitted uploading 22 images and 132 videos of monkeys being tortured to online chat groups in May.

Despite both living in Worcestershire, the women are not believed to have known each other, and used pseudonyms online.

Their part in the network was uncovered by a year-long BBC Eye investigation, which exposed the private online groups.

Police officers and staff spent more than a year recovering “thousands of files” from 20 devices owned by the women.

The court heard how Orme was a “key member” of the groups, welcoming newcomers and organising the bids.

Police said members, based around the world, would discuss different ways in which the monkeys could be abused and *******, voting and paying for their favoured methods of ********.

Men in Indonesia were taking the monkeys from their families in the wild and carrying out the ******.

Ch Insp Kevin Lacks-Kelly, head of the *** National Wildlife ****** Unit, said it was the worst case that he had dealt with during his 22 years as an officer.

“We’ve seen the worst that humanity can bring,” he said.

“The animals in this case have been unnecessarily tortured, there’s no excuse for it.

“I can’t offer any rationale or reason as to why somebody would want to go to the levels that they went to, to persecute, *****, harm and maim these innocent animals.”

Action for Primates, a ***-based advocacy project, assisted police in the investigation.

Its co-founder, Sarah Kite, said it was the most horrifying content she had ever encountered.

“For people such as Orme to think up methods of torturing helpless and vulnerable baby monkeys is beyond comprehension,” she said.

“To then pay for someone to inflict such extreme ********* is so disturbing that I believe they must permanently be barred from having contact with children or animals.”
