March 2016 Pervert jailed after downloading over 5,000 child abuse images & videos A STOURBRIDGE man who downloaded more than 5,000 sickening indecent films and photographs of children including eight-month old babies has been jailed for 30 months. Brett Clewes also targeted two women he knew to take indecent photographs and took another up the skirt of a young girl in Stourbridge town centre, Wolverhampton Crown Court was told. The 43-year-old, of Finchfield Close, was described as a “socially inept” man with few friends and Recorder Abigail Nixon told him: “Without sexually depraved people like you there would be no demand for these indecent images.” She said he was clearly someone with “perverted sexual tastes” and added: “Women of all ages are at risk from your perverted needs. It is clear your tastes range from babies to children of almost adult age.” The Recorder said the offending went on for nearly nine years until Clewes, a man of previous good character, was finally arrested and she stressed she was convinced it would have continued had he not been tracked down by police. Christopher O’Gorman, prosecuting, said intelligence was received by officers about Clewes using a website based in Russia which was used by people with a sexual interest in children. People using the site were making comments about their shared interest in paedophilia and when officers went to Clewes’ home they seized his computer equipment which was found to contain the indecent images. He later pleaded guilty to seven charges of making indecent images of children and one of taking an indecent photograph of a child. He also admitted recording a person in a private act and four charges of possessing indecent photographs – and was told he must register as a Sex Offender for the next ten years.
