A pervert who had a vile collection of indecent images of children had to flee his home after his windows were smashed when people found out what he had been up to.
Police found the pictures and movies had been downloaded onto computers seized from Alan Passmore's home in Sunderland during a search on March 17 2020.
Newcastle Crown Court heard the images featured children as young as five and some of those shown were displaying "distress".
