A Carlisle man has been jailed after possessing hundreds of indecent images of children and breaching his sexual harm prevention order.
42-year-old Jay Hamilton was found with 934 indecent images of children on one of his phones.
397 of the images were category A: the most serious.
He's been sentenced to two-years-and-eight months in prison after being found guilty of:
- three counts of making indecent images
- three breaches of a sexual harm prevention order
- and failing to comply with sex offender notification requirements
Detective Constable Jess Myers, of the Cumberland MOSOVO team, said: “Making indecent images of children is a serious offence and our team are committed to rooting out individuals like Hamilton for their abhorrent behaviour.
“When interviewed and presented with the facts, Hamilton accepted that he knew he had breached his sexual harm prevention order and failed to comply with his sex offender notification requirements.
“MOSOVO officers play a vital role in safeguarding communities by rigorously managing registered sex offenders, ensuring compliance with legal requirements, and holding individuals such as Hamilton accountable for their actions.”
