A paedophile attempted to pin the blame on his own son when he was caught with videos of boys having sex.
William Rumsby accessed the dark web in order to collect a stash of indecent images of children for the second time and installed a multitude of software on his tablet computer in a bid to cover his tracks. He then told a "series of lies" when police came knocking at his door.
Liverpool Crown Court heard yesterday, Wednesday, that the pensioner was handed four-month imprisonment suspended for two years and a seven-year sexual harm prevention order in December 2016 after being convicted of possessing and making indecent images of children. This SHPO subjected the 71-year-old to a number of restrictions - including requiring him to notify the authorities of any owned devices capable of accessing the internet, not deleting the history of websites viewed and granting access to the equipment when requested by an officer.
