Febuary 2005 Man jailed for child sex pictures An internet paedophile from Leicestershire who had more than 1,000 indecent images of children has been jailed for four years and three months. Philip Michael Turner, 40, of Forrester Close, Cosby, was found guilty of 11 counts of possession of indecent images of children at Nottingham Crown Court. Turner was put on the sex offenders register for life and excluded from ever working with children. He was arrested in 2003 as part of Operation Ore crackdown. Det Con Emmy Thresh, from Leics Police, part of the investigation team, said: “The outcome of the case sends a strong message to those involved in this type of crime. “We are committed to tracking offenders down and bringing them to justice.” Operation Ore, an international operation to target internet paedophiles, was launched after the FBI passed details to British police of UK credit cards used to buy indecent images of children from American websites. It has led to Leicestershire police seizing almost 300 computers and discovering more than 75,000 indecent images since 2002.
