A pervert who had thousands of indecent images of children has been spared prison.
Liam Scott had amassed a sickening collection of material featuring children as young as 18 months old. Newcastle Crown Court heard he had also distributed some of the images to others online.
The National Crime Agency went to his home after receiving information about a file sharing cloud platform being used to download child abuse pictures and videos. Examination of his phone showed he had been searching for such material.
