- Distinguishing Features / Details
- He pleaded guilty to making and possessing indecent images of children at his home in Colwyn Bay, Conwy. Police discovered indecent images of children after they raided his home in March 2015 following information from the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre.
The judge said: "To all intents and purposes you were leading a wholly law-abiding life. But in the murky shadows of your existence there was this secret that only you knew. At a time in your life when you were lonely and had little interest in anybody or anything you took to the internet in order to look at pornography and, as is often the case, you moved from one type of pornography to another... The biggest myth of all is that no harm is being done to the child. The reality is every time a person views that image, the child is being abused again" - Case Timeline
