June 2015 Ipswich toy shop worker caught in child abuse images honey trap By Colin Adwent, Crime correspondent A 63-year-old toy store worker who played Santa at Christmas has been spared jail after being snared in a honey trap by Dutch paedophile hunters. Michael Potter’s home in Glamorgan Road, Ipswich, was raided by the National Crime Agency (NCA) in December last year after he conversed with what he believed to be a 10-year-old child in an internet chatroom. Potter was sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court to a two-year prison term, suspended for two years. He had previously admitted five counts of distributing indecent images and a further five of possession around 1,500 indecent images. A total of 156 of the images were at Level A – the most serious grading for child pornography. In addition to his suspended sentence Potter was barred from working with children and made the subject of a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order. He must also sign the sex offenders register for 10 years and undergo the Thames Valley Sexual Offender Treatment programme. Click this link for full story
