June 2015 Man left phone containing 14,460 indecent images of children in taxi A PASSENGER was shocked to discover a mobile phone she found in a taxi contained 15,000 indecent images of children. Richard Clark, 35, of Grovehill, Hessle narrowly avoided jail after appearing at Hull Crown Court, where he admitted possession of 14,460 indecent images. He claimed his “head was all over the place” following the death of his mother when he downloaded the photographs. Clark told police the girls were 12 to 14 years old and he had downloaded them over the previous three or four months. Clark was given a three-year community order and a three-year supervision order. He must also attend a sex offender group programme and carry out a six-month drug rehabilitation order. For MORE on this case click here
