A paedophile who said he “couldn’t be trusted if he had a child” had "revolting" abuse images including the rape of a small boy on his phones.
Police executed a warrant at the home of Brandon Maloney, 23, of Castle View House, Runcorn, on January 25 but he wasn’t there. Frances Willmott, prosecuting at Chester Crown Court on Tuesday, said Maloney returned later and made contact with officers.
He volunteered an additional phone and made admissions about indecent images of children. Ms Willmott said the two phones contained 55 child abuse images with victims’ ages ranging from three years and up.
