Description
A married scout leader in Ilkeston was caught with hundreds of sick child abuse images. Nottingham Crown Court heard how police found more than 150 of the most serious category A indecent images, which showed children as young as three being sexually assaulted or raped, when they seized devices from Jonathan Craven.
The 44-year-old also got sexual gratification from watching extreme pornographic images involving humans engaged in sexual encounters with dogs, which were also discovered by detectives.
Now he has lost his role in the scouts, his marriage, his previous good character and has moved from the town to Derby. He disguised himself with a mask and baseball cap when he left the court building having been spared immediate custody.

Handing him a 12-month jail sentence, suspended for 18 months, Recorder Stuart Sprawson said: It is sad that someone at the age of 44, who has no previous convictions, finds himself in front of the courts like this and I am disappointed to hear your marriage has come to an end as a consequence of this.
