July 2003 Pervert sentenced for indecent images of children Call centre manager and father-of-one Paul Lawrence, 40, of Tingley Crescent, Tingley, near Leeds, admitted possessing 20 indecent images of children, downloaded from an American website. He was given a £1,000 fine and told to pay £60 costs. He was also placed on the sex offenders register for five years. Mr Siddique said police recovered 650 indecent images from his home, some involving girls as young as six. Andrew Tinning, defending, told the court he had been ostracised by his neighbours and now planned to move from the area. He said: “The result of that has been shunning by his neighbours. It is particularly distressing for him because not only does he bear the shame but also his family and in particular, his daughter, who now has no friends on the street where she lives.” He added: “If his employers found out about this, he would lose his job.”
