Description
A sex offender was found with indecent images of children after failing to comply with notification requirements.
Craig Stewart, 33, of Dalryple Way in Norwich, was placed on the sex offenders’ register for 10 years in 2016 after convictions for using an anonymous online chat site to groom and film young girls, and possessing hundreds of images and videos, some secretly recorded. He must update police annually on personal details, including his whereabouts.
Norwich Magistrates’ Court heard that officers visited his home after he missed the July deadline last year, seizing devices where downloaded photos of children (categories B and C) were discovered.
Stewart pleaded guilty to the non-compliance and possession charges. He will be sentenced on May 13.
The court was told he was undergoing a personal crisis and is working with support organization Stop It Now to address his ‘addiction’ to viewing photos.
