Pervert said he was ‘hooked’ on viewing indecent images of children

A pervert who became “hooked” on indecent images of children has been given a chance to address his issues in the community.

Although he said he felt ashamed while doing it, Philip Ford amassed a collection of 8,869 offending images on digital devices seized by police from his Houghton-le-Spring home, last July.
