An "isolated" pervert who was given a suspended sentence for possession of indecent images had been put in a young offender's institution for breaching the order.
Craig Gibson was given an eight month prison sentence, suspended for two years in October, last year, after being convicted of possessing indecent images and extreme pornography. As part of his sentence, the 20-year-old was also ordered to carry out unpaid work and a set amount of rehabilitation activity days.
But Gibson, of Cumbrian Avenue, Chester-le-Street, was hauled back in front of a judge this week for failing to turn up to appointments with the probation service. He appeared at Durham Crown Court to be sentenced for breaching the suspended sentence in November 2021 and April, this year. He admitted the breaches during the hearing.
