Paedophile Jailed After Sending Child Porn Images To Cops

By James Simons-

A convicted paedophile has been jailed after sending child porn images to cops.

Detectives trapped 26 year old Danny Price using a covert email account in which sent out an image of girl aged under ten being raped.

Durham Crown Court was not aware of the sting operation at the time, handed out 12 month sentence, suspended for two years, on May 18, less than two weeks after he sent the video.On Friday, the court heard Price began deleting his internet browsing history, something he was banned from doing by a sexual harm prevention order.

He was arrested for the video on July 17 and police found 30 more indecent images of children being abused on his mobile phone. Price, of Biscop Crescent, Newton Aycliffe, had been using a cloud storage system, breaching the order again. The vile images found by police featured girls aged between five and eight years old being sexually abused. Paedophiles like Price are a menace to society, they should never be allowed to integrate into society.

Price pleaded guilty to distributing an indecent image, possessing indecent images and two counts of breaching a sexual harm prevention order at a previous hearing. Jane Foley, mitigating, said: “He is 26 years of age but he is described by the author of the pre-sentence report as naïve and immature.”

Judge Christopher Prince jailed him for a total of three years and eight months.Price will be the subject of an indefinite sexual harm prevention order once he is released from prison.

The judge said Price could expect to serve half in custody and half in the community on licence.Judge Prince said the sentence could no longer be suspended and only an immediate term of imprisonment was appropriate.
