A man has been jailed for six years after pleading guilty to 20 offences including making and distributing indecent images of children.
James Green, 45, of Colne Road, Clacton-on-Sea, was sentenced when he appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court on Wednesday 12 June.
He previously admitted:
- Three counts of distributing an indecent image of a child
- Three counts of making indecent images of a child
- Possession of extreme pornographic image
- Possession of a prohibited image of a child
- 10 counts of a breaches of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) and Sex offenders’ notification requirements
Officers launched an investigation after we received information regarding illegal online activity which was linked to Green.
Essex Police Online Investigation Team (POLIT) went to Green’s home in April this year after receiving information that he had attempted to access indecent images of children and breached his order.
Under the requirements of Green’s order, he was prevented from using any device which could access the internet or possess a phone not notified to police.
He was arrested after initially trying to hide his phone. The device, hidden under a tile in his ceiling, was found to contain illegal content.
He answered no comment during questioning but was charged and remanded into custody.
He plead guilty on Tuesday 30 April after the irrefutable evidence against him.
