Paedophile kept 'dirty phone' to look at vile images when drunk

A paedophile kept a "dirty phone" which he used to look at vile images after getting drunk.

James Cavanagh had been spared prison for sex offences only months before he was caught again, having deleted his internet history "in a panic". Now convicted of such crimes three times, the pervert sought to blame his sick behaviour on the Hillsborough disaster.

Liverpool Crown Court heard this afternoon, Wednesday, that the 46-year-old was subjected to a 10-year sexual harm prevention order in October 2021 - when he also received a nine-month imprisonment suspended for two years for making indecent images. This SHPO banned him from deleting his internet history and requires him to hand over any electronic device he owns when asked to do so by the police.
