February 2015 6,761 indecent images of children found on Grimsby man’s computer POLICE found more than 6,700 indecent photographs of children after searching a man’s computer, a court heard. Barry Chisnall, 59, of Franklin House, Beechwood Avenue, Grimsby, admitted making 6,761 indecent images of children and possessing four on March 9, 2013. Jeremy Evans, prosecuting, told Grimsby Crown Court that the images were found after police received information that Chisnall’s computer had been used to access child abuse images Michael Coley, mitigating, said Chisnall had suffered serious physical health problems. Judge David Tremberg told Chisnall that people who viewed such images provided tacit encouragement for those who made child pornography, which had a “tendency to deprave and corrupt the child victims”. His “squalid and potentially harmful behaviour” was not a “victimless crime”. Chisnall, who had no previous convictions, was given a one-year suspended prison sentence and a two-year supervision order, including a sex offender treatment programme. He was given a 10-year sexual offences treatment order and must register as a sex offender for 10 years.
