September 2014 Brundall man downloaded indecent images of children A man who downloaded more than 100 indecent images of children is to be given help he needs to stop him offending in the future. Barry Watson, 57, was found by police to have downloaded the indecent images on his computer at his home in Highfield Avenue, Brundall, when they searched his address on December 13, last year, Norwich Crown Court heard. Watson admitted downloading the images and was given a 24 month community order, which includes him attending an internet sex offenders treatment programme. Recorder Maureen Baker accepted that Watson had only downloaded a small number, compared to the thousands of indecent images, which is sometimes the case, but said: “Images of this nature are treated as being extremely serious.” She added that it was better that he received treatment to help him stop accessing such images in future and said: “Society is better protected by you being placed on an internet sex offender prevention programme.” Recorder Baker also made Watson subject to a sexual offences prevention order under which his use of the internet is monitored, and he was also placed on the sex offender’s register. Michael Clare, for Watson, said there were only a small number of images and he deserved credit for his guilty plea.
