September 2014 35-year-old jailed for six months for possessing extreme indecent images of children and animals A ‘LONELY’ 35-year-old caught with more than 3,500 indecent or extreme illegal pornographic images on his computer system has been jailed for six months. Graham Turner, of Tewkesbury road, Longford, was also ordered to sign the sex offender register for the next seven years and had a four year sexual offences order imposed at Gloucester Crown Court. He had pleaded guilty to six charges of making indecent photographs of children between March 2008 and January 2014. He also admitted a charge of possessing 126 Class A indecent images of children, 50 class B, and 85 class C on January 9 this year. And he pleaded guilty to two offences of possessing extreme pornography showing acts of sexual intercourse between a person and a horse. Prosecutor Mark Hollier said that in May 2013 police were told Turner’s computer IP address had been linked with a site concerned with child abuse images. A search warrant was executed at his home on January 9 this year and his computers were seized. He was bailed and when he returned to be interviewed by police on April 9 he accepted he was responsible for all the images found. There were 261 child porn photos, 3,010 cartoon images of children in indecent poses and 254 animal-related images. Turner was a man of previous good character, he said Sarah Jenkins, defending, said Turner had sought help from his GP following his arrest and had been referred to various mental health professionals. He was also being treated for depression and anxiety. Turner had led a socially isolated life, describing himself as lonely and socially inadequate, she said. He had never had a sexual relationship and was unsure of his own sexual preferences. He had become more and more entrenched, sitting at home in front of his computer, she said. Judge Michael Harington told Turner the offences were too serious to justify anything other than immediate imprisonment.
