ALFRETON MAN GLYN ROBERTS SENTENCED FOR CHILD ABUSE IMAGE OFFENSES

In January 2016, Glyn Roberts, a 52-year-old resident of Alfreton, was handed a prison sentence of two years after being found guilty of possessing and distributing a significant collection of over 260 images and videos depicting child abuse. The material involved was classified at the most severe level, indicating the explicit and disturbing nature of the content. Roberts's criminal activities did not stop there; he had a prior conviction for similar offenses in 2007, demonstrating a troubling pattern of behavior.

Furthermore, Roberts violated court orders that explicitly prohibited him from accessing or using the internet for activities related to such illicit material. These breaches underscored his blatant disregard for legal restrictions and the seriousness of his offenses. The case highlights ongoing concerns about individuals involved in the distribution and possession of child abuse imagery, and the judicial system's efforts to impose strict penalties on offenders like Roberts to protect vulnerable victims and prevent further crimes.
