Police acting on intelligence visited a Bath man. And it transpired Christopher Parker had downloaded and filed indecent images of children via the dark web.
Parker, 69, of George Street, accepted he had sought out 'women under 45'. He went on to plead guilty to three charges of making an indecent image of a child and appeared at Bristol Crown Court for sentence yesterday (August 4, 2022).
Judge Mark Horton handed him a 12-month prison sentence suspended for two years. He told Parker: "Despite evidence you still feel unable to admit that you are and have been sexually attracted to young children."
