An "isolated" County Durham paedophile shared sickening child abuse images to other perverts over Skype.
Samuel Kettell was found in possession of over 220 indecent images - some of which were videos - when police raided his home on June 9. His electronic devices were also seized and checks revealed he'd been sharing some of the material, which depicted children in pain and distress, over the internet.
The 21-year-old had committed the offences between May 2019 and June 2020, and when arrested he admitted full responsibility. Kettell, of Sledmere Close, Peterlee, appeared at Durham Crown Court on Tuesday to be sentenced for charges relating to making and distributing indecent images. The court heard Kettell was in possession of 107 category A, 56 category B, and 64 category C, indecent images and videos of children. He also shared a "small amount" of child abuse images online.
