A paedophile head teacher was out of prison for a matter of weeks before he "went back to his old ways".
Robert Pearson claimed to be "shocked and concerned" after police found a stash of "the most depraved form" of indecent images on his mobile phone. The pensioner has now been convicted of sexual offences for a fourth time, having also abused a girl at the turn of the century.
Liverpool Crown Court heard this afternoon, Thursday, that police visited the 72-year-old's flat on Park Road in Southport on August 12 last year after receiving "intelligence about his inappropriate internet use". Paul Blasbery, prosecuting, described how Pearson handed his phone over to officers, who discovered "gaps" in his browsing history.
