A paedophile who hoarded thousands of images and videos showing children as young as four being raped has been jailed.
James Pearson, of Recreation Crescent in Leeds, refused to cooperate with the police after his first arrest in March 2017 and then went to "delve deeper into the darkness" to add more to his sick collection of child abuse images.
Bradford Crown Court heard on Monday that when Pearson was first arrested officers found "thousands" of photos and videos showing horrific scenes of young boys being raped and abused.
