January 2017 Jail for loner caught with sickening indecent photographs of children A WRENS Nest loner has been jailed for possessing sick photographs and videos of children – just weeks after being allowed to keep his freedom for an earlier offence. When police went to Paul Fellows’ home in Ash Road, one of the officers saw a computer hard drive being thrown from a window. Paul Spratt, prosecuting, told Wolverhampton Crown Court that when it was recovered and checked, it was found to contain indecent images of children. He said Fellows had also saved images in a folder on his computer, which other people could access. The 39-year-old, had previously been given a three year community order by a court in February 2012 on charges of making indecent images of youngsters. But between March 2012 and June last year, he had collected more than 4,000 sickening pornographic photographs of children and 568 movies – including a large number in the worst category. “This was appalling material,” Recorder Martin Watkins told Fellows, adding: “This was live abuse committed against very young children.” When questioned, Fellows maintained he had not deliberately set out to distribute the material but accepted he “may have inadvertently done so”. Fellows admitted three charges of distributing the indecent photographs and films and three charges of possessing the pornographic material and jailed for 32 months. He was also told he must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and made the subject of a lifetime sexual harm prevention order.
