May 2011 Jail for pervert who had child porn on computer A 34-YEAR-OLD man from Paddock Wood has been jailed for 16 months for downloading more than 50,000 child sex images and films. Ian Johnson, of Goldings, was sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court on Monday after pleading guilty to 25 offences. He was arrested in an early morning raid on his home in December 2009 when police seized computer equipment containing 53,732 indecent pictures and 211 movies. The material ranged from those rated least serious (Level One) to the most extreme Level Five. Johnson, who is understood to have grown up in Paddock Wood, has also been put on the sex offenders register. But while he has also been banned from working with children, he is not required to vacate the flat he shares with his mother, despite a young family living next door. Mother-of-four Ashley Streeter, whose front door faces Johnson’s across a narrow corridor, told the Courier: “I never had any reason to suspect anything as he always kept himself to himself. “He would come out of the house and just look at the floor. He wouldn’t look at you, he wouldn’t say hello or anything, not even if you stood right in front of him. Until it all came out in the newspapers we didn’t know anything about it.” She added: “I was quite horrified at the fact that he has been living next door to me for six years and I have four children.” Miss Streeter says she is “disgusted” by the leniency of Johnson’s jail sentence and is now demanding Town and Country Housing Group – landlord for both her and Johnson – takes action to keep him away from her children. She said: “They have told me they have no grounds to move me and, unless he is told that he can’t live next to children, they won’t move him. “He has been told that he can’t work with children, so surely living full-time next door to four small children might mean something? But no, I have to register with the local council and I have to try and move my family.” She added: “We like living here and I don’t see why I should have to uproot everything and have my kids change schools because of somebody else.” Town and Country Housing spokesman Martin Oxley said: “We fully understand the concerns of local residents and will be looking at what would be the best long-term solution. He will not be released for quite some time which gives us the opportunity to look at a number of options to resolve this.”
