Description
George Moreby was found to have indecent images of children having been previously convited for similar offences.
A paedophile from north Warwickshire found with indecent images of children and ‘extreme pornography’ on several devices told police ‘I just can’t help myself’. The 26-year-old was arrested earlier in 2022, after he was previously convicted for similar offences.
The home of George Moreby, of The Hills in Warton, near Tamworth, was raided by Warwickshire Police on April 9 this year, with officers seizing several devices. They were found to contain indecent images of children and images of bestiality on them.
Moreby, 26, had previous convictions for possessing indecent images and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. And upon arrest at his home he is said to have told an officer he was ‘addicted’ and ‘didn’t even enjoy it.
He is reported to have told a detective: “I just can’t help myself, I stopped for a bit but started up again. I need to get some sort of help with it, I don’t even enjoy it – I’m addicted.”
Moreby was subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order following those convictions and was charged with breaching the order, alongside offences involving indecent images of children and extreme pornography. The sex offender was jailed for three-and-a-half years on Tuesday, November 29.
DC Adam James said: “We welcome this sentence, and we hope it serves as a warning to those considering viewing indecent images. These materials cause catastrophic harm to children.
“And it is our aim to track down, arrest and present to the courts every single person in Warwickshire who views them.” Warwickshire Police added: “if you are concerned about your behaviour online, you can visit www.lucyfaithfull.org.uk for free, confidential help.”
