Man in possession of over 200 indecent images of children in Cambridgeshire jailed
The images were found on 3 phones seized from his house
A man in Cambridgeshire has been jailed after being found in possession of more than 200 indecent images.
Ryan Hart, 33, pleaded guilty to making and distributing indecent images of children after officers carried out a warrant at his home.
Officers seized three phones during the warrant in July 2021, following intel reports from the National Crime Agency which suggested Hart had been uploading images to an internet chat room.
Of the images on the phones, 63 were category A, the most serious.
Hart, of Stow Road, Ixworth, Bury St Edmunds, lived in Littleport, Cambridgeshire, at the time the offences took place.
He pleaded guilty to six counts of making and distributing indecent images of children and was sentenced to 18 months in prison at Peterborough Crown Court on Monday (31/7).
DC Neal Holdsworth, from the Paedophile Online Investigation Team (POLIT), said: “Tackling online viewing and distributing of indecent images is a priority for police across the country and I hope this shows there are consequences for those who view such images.”
