Adam Piggott and Alex Ford appeared in the dock together at Shrewsbury Crown Court facing charges relating to 15 different women - many from Shrewsbury - whose accounts they targeted.

Ford, aged 34, is also accused of having hundreds of images of child sex abuse, including 30 of category A - depicting the most depraved kind of abuse.

The court was told that despite appearing in the dock at the same time, the two men were not part of a joint enterprise and the cases are separate.

One of the 15 women was hacked by both men, while the rest were targeted by one or the other.
