A pervert whose sickening collection of indecent images including young children in pain and distress has been spared prison.
Police went to Jack Edwards' home as a result of information received on November 3 2020 and seized his Google Pixel phone and they found a small number of child abuse images and evidence he had been searching for indecent images. Officers went back in August 2021 and found more indecent images on an iPhone.
In total, Edwards had 227 of the most serious, category A images, 97 category B and 22 category C. The children in the images were aged between two and 15. Examples referred to included a three-year-old screaming and crying while being abused, the court heard.
