A registered sex offender from Carlisle has been jailed for creating indecent images of children.

52-year-old David Wilson was arrested after officers found over 60 files on his devices last July.

He’d been accessing the dark web using VPNs.

Wilson has been sentenced to 20 months in prison and placed on a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

Detective Constable Anna Ritson, from Cumbria’s Management of Sexual or Violent Offenders (MOSOVO) department said: “Wilson is a dangerous offender, and it is evident that he went to significant efforts to hide his offending.

“MOSOVO officers play a vital role in safeguarding communities by rigorously managing registered sex offenders, ensuring compliance with legal requirements, and holding individuals accountable for their actions.

“We take a zero-tolerance approach against anyone found to breaching the terms of their requirements or committing any further offences.”
