Description

Crawley man William Mousdell has been jailed for almost three years after being found with thousands of indecent images of children.

Mousdell, 49, of Beeches Crescent in Crawley, was arrested at his home on 14 December, 2022, after police linked his address to the uploading of indecent images of children to the internet.

Several devices were seized and found to contain thousands of indecent images of children, including hundreds of the most serious, Category A, moving and still images.

Some of the images were non-sexual pictures of children known to him, which had been edited to appear to show sexual and violent acts.

Mousdell was subsequently charged with, and convicted of, three counts of making or possessing indecent images of children.

At Lewes Crown Court on 28 March, 2024, Mousdell was jailed for 31 months, given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, ordered to sign the Sex Offenders’ Register and given multiple Restraining Orders.
