Perverted IT worker caught with category A child abuse images and films

An IT worker caught with hundreds of explicit child sex images and films was spared jail so he can continue to battle the ‘compulsion’ that makes him download the material.

Benjamin Jones, 36, immediately pointed to his computer when police officers turned up to search his Docklands apartment in late April 2014.

A hard drive was seized and upon examination was found to contain over 270 category A images and films – the most serious kind which depict penetrative sexual activity with children.

The majority of youngsters in the haul, amassed over a two year period starting in 2012, were judged to be aged between 10 and 12.
