A perverted pensioner has avoided jail again after being caught with vile child sexual abuse images for the second time in five years.
In 2017, Peter Gill was given a suspended prison sentence after he was found to have a disturbing stash of indecent images of youngsters on his electronic devices. However, just five years later and despite being on a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, the 71-year-old proved he hadn't learned his lesson when a random police check revealed further disgusting pictures and a video on one of his memory cards.
Newcastle Crown Court heard that Gill was now beginning to understand his offending and "what triggered it" and he had sought help himself from the Lucy Faithfull Foundation, a child protection charity dedicated to preventing child sexual abuse. As a result, the pervert, of Slaley Park, in Slaley, near Hexham, has been given yet another chance after he pleaded guilty to two counts of making an indecent image of a child and one of possessing a prohibited image of a child.
