A man described himself as a "martyr" for paedophiles after a threesome gone wrong led to police discovering his vile stash of indecent images.
Mikael Janesson, 41, was jailed for 20 months yesterday after officers found thousands of child abuse images on electronic devices at his home. Ahead of his sentencing, he attempted to justify his actions in a lengthy seven-page letter submitted to the court.
In the sick document, he called himself a "martyr for paedophilia" and compared himself to Alan Turing - the mathematician who cracked the Enigma code during the Second World War but was persecuted for being gay - the Liverpool ECHO reports. Liverpool Crown Court heard that Janesson had detailed an "alternative society which goes against societal norms" in his writings.
