Paedophile hid phone with 'vile and extreme' images of babies in bin

A paedophile was caught with extreme images of children as young as a month old on a mobile phone which he hid in a bin.

Simon McDonald, 44, was banned from owning a phone which could store images and was also banned from possessing images of a female under 18. by way of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order. Manchester Crown Court heard the disturbing find was made by police after McDonald’s case worker alerted them to the smashed phone, reports the Manchester Evening News.

However, following an analysis of the phone after finding it on November 14 2020, officers found a collection of vile images of children, and other extreme images. He was also caught in possession of indecent images and videos of children aged between one month old and 11.
