A paedophile was caught with nearly 8,000 sick images of children and even disturbing “fiction” about a character named after him.
Ray Robinson, 75, of Warren Croft, Norton, Runcorn, was sentenced on Thursday at Chester Crown Court sitting at magistrates' court, where prosecutor Sarah Badrawy told how police discovered the vile stash after executing a search warrant at around 6.50am on October 15, 2021. Officers seized hard drives, a laptop, desktop computer and recordable CDs.
Forensic examination of the devices uncovered a horrific collection of 7,879 indecent images of children, comprising 173 of the worst kind in Category A, 481 at Category B, and 7,225 in Category C, including some video clips and amassed over more than a decade between September 2008 and December 2020. Robinson was arrested.
