A MAN from Ellesmere Port found with hundreds of indecent images of children has been jailed for 14 months.

Jamie Carter, 22, of Shetland Drive, appeared at Chester Crown Court on Wednesday, August 18 for sentencing, having previously pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity to all charges.

Police found Carter had stored 357 indecent images of children between September 19, 2019 and December 5, 2020.

Of those, 103 were assessed at 'Category A', the most serious type of indecent image, with 84 assessed at Category B and 170 assessed as Category C.

Carter also pleaded guilty to possessing 11 prohibited images of children, and possessing 10 images of extreme pornography involving animals.

As a result of the offences, Judge Simon Berkson sentenced the defendant to 14 months in prison.

Carter was also made the subject of a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

As part of that order, Carter is prevented from working with children or vulnerable adults, and is prohibited from using any internet-enabled device unless he has notified police beforehand, does not make any attempt to disguise or delete his internet history, and makes it available for inspection by a police officer.

Carter must also sign the sex offenders register.

He must also pay a 149 surcharge.

An iPhone 11 which was used by Carter to obtain the indecent images was to be forfeited and destroyed.
