A self-confessed porn addict has avoided time behind bars after being found with more than 1,000 sex abuse images of children as young as two.
Pervert David Besag downloaded the sickening pictures and videos over an 18-year period between 2002 and 2020 but was finally snared when police searched his home after receiving intelligence regarding his sordid behaviour. A court heard that 50-year-old's lap top, mobile, a hard drive and computer tower were seized and the disgusting material was found all all four devices.
The paedophile, of Glenthorn Road, in Jesmond, has now avoided a stint in jail after he pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of a child, one of possessing a prohibited image of a child and one of possessing extreme porn. Instead, he was given a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.
