A man found with videos of children being abused on his phone has been spared jail.
Francis Hewitt, of no fixed abode, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday via video link. Derrick Jones, prosecuting, detailed that on August 2 last year, Merseyside police received intelligence that somebody was accessing indecent images of children.
The intel was traced to Hewitt’s then-home address in Wallasey, and officers attended the scene. Several electronic items were seized and on two of them, indecent images of children were found.
