A cyber pervert shared child abuse images of the “most terrible” type featuring victims being “horrendously abused”.
Former chef Owen Wright, 30, of The Calvers, The Brow, Runcorn, was arrested when officers from Cheshire Police executed a warrant on January 14, 2021. They seized two iPhones, a Samsung phone and a small quantity of the Class B drug cannabis.
Jade Tufail, prosecuting at Chester Crown Court, sitting in magistrates’ court on Wednesday, said the devices were examined and Wright was found to have been using platforms such as Snapchat, Kik Messenger, and “mega links” to discuss indecent material and forward pictures. Paedophile Wright’s devices contained 327 indecent images in total.
