A Melbourne busker, who was found with nearly 1000 vile images and videos, claimed that one of his young teenage victims was his 'slave'

A Melbourne busker who groomed and abused teen girls in "grotesque and vile" ways after meeting them on social media has been jailed.

The busker was also in contact with three teenage girls who contacted him on Instagram and SnapChat in mid-2018. Winterbottom's behaviour towards the teenage girl was "grotesque and vile", Victorian County Court Judge Claire Quin said on Tuesday. The judge took into account his deprived childhood, restricted situation in custody and limited availability of programs.
