April 2016 Paedophile who left laptop containing almost 1,000 child abuse images on train station jailed A dimwit paedophile was snared after he returned to claim a laptop he had left behind at a railway station. Christopher Williams mislaid the laptop at Wolverhampton station in February, 2014. Days later he returned to the station to ask if the laptop had been handed in at ‘lost luggage.’ But unknown to Williams the laptop had already been examined by police who had found on it child sex abuse images. Williams was arrested and almost 1,000 indecent images of children were found on devices at his Birmingham home. During their investigations police discovered that Williams, 52, had been sharing images with another man, 42-year-old Harjit Sian (pictured below) When police searched Sian’s Birmingham home they found a laptop and storage card containing more than 900 images and four videos. The images covered all categories of child sex abuse. Williams admitted possessing and distributing indecent images of children at an earlier hearing at Birmingham Crown Court and was put on the sex offenders’ register for five years, given a three year community order and told to attend a sex offenders’ treatment programme. Sian admitted the same offences at Birmingham Crown Court on April 1, this year, and was jailed for 18 months and put on the sex offenders register for ten years. Sian’s sentence was more severe than Williams’ because of the nature of the images he possessed and distributed.
