January 2017 Exeter man found child abuse images on the ‘dark web’ A computer user was found with child abuse images after he searched the internet for items such as ‘young video models’. Gabor Papai used the so called dark web browser Tor and a peer to peer file sharing site to access images including some which showed the worst forms of abuse. He was ordered to undergo a rehabilitation course after a judge at Exeter Crown Court was told he was deeply ashamed of what he did. Papai, aged 40, of Birchy Barton Hill, Exeter, admitted thee counts of making indecent images and was ordered to do 60 days’ rehabilitation with the probation service as part of a one-year community order. He was also ordered to sign onto the sex offenders’ register for five years and made subject of a sexual harm prevention order which enables the police to monitor his internet use for the same period. Judge Geoffrey Mercer, QC, told him:”You must understand that downloading this material prolongs the abuse of children. “You are of good character. You will not be able to say that again. It prevents you going to prison today but if you continue to download this material, that is where you will go. “You have pleaded guilty and are thoroughly ashamed of what you have done, as you should be.” Miss Francesca Whebell, prosecuting, said police raided Papai’s address and seized computer equipment following intelligence which suggested he was accessing child images and movies. She said the images were created between 2011 and June 2016 and some came through file sharing software. They showed children aged six to 15 and included stills and images from all three categories, including the most serious. There were also search terms including ‘young video models’ and ‘little girl with grandpa’. He had also installed a Tor browser which allows anonymous use of the internet.
