He has been sentenced
A pervert who had hundreds of prohibited indecent cartoon images of children on devices insisted he was not a danger to children, a court heard. Police raided the home of Stephen Woolley and recovered an iPhone and external hard disk drive.
Nottingham Crown Court heard on Tuesday a total of 235 images were found - and the majority were prohibited indecent cartoon images of children. One Category A indecent photo of a child was found, one of Category B and four in Category C. Woolley, 45, of Debdale Lane, Mansfield, pleaded guilty to downloading indecent images of children and possession of prohibited images.
Woolley, who had been single for a long time, said he was attracted to girls under 18 years - not in real life but online. "He described where the photos were stored on the devices," said David Allan, prosecuting. "He said he stored images of children up to 15 years upwards. In fact they were younger than that."He said he was 'not a danger to children'".
He told Woolley in the dock: "I am told by your learned counsel that you are thoroughly ashamed of your behaviour, so you should be. Somewhere out there, they are children of people, beloved children. It is appalling they should fall prey to such degradation and humiliating behaviour". Woolley will be supervised by the probation service for two years, must go on a course to address his actions, sign the sex offenders' register and be on a sexual harm prevention order for five years.
