A convicted murderer and sexual predator has been found with almost 1600 indecent images and videos of children after being released from jail.
On Monday, Liverpool Crown Court heard Michael McGrane, 60, of Victoria Street, Southport, downloaded the content over a one year period, ten years after being released from jail in Australia for sexual assault and murder.
Mr Kenneth Grant, prosecuting, told the court that McGrane had been linked to these offences after an investigation by Merseyside Police Online Child Abuse Investigation Team traced an IP address suspected of sharing indecent images of children, to his home address.
