ROBIN FOLLETT FROM TROWBRIDGE SENTENCED FOR CHILD RAPE IMAGES AND ANIMAL PORNOGRAPHY

A 63-year-old man from Trowbridge, Robin Follett, has been sentenced to 15 months in prison after being found guilty of distributing highly illegal and disturbing images depicting child rape and other explicit content via online platforms. The court proceedings revealed that Follett actively shared these illicit images with others through various chat rooms and file-sharing networks, facilitating the dissemination of material that included videos showing children being subjected to abuse.

In addition to his online activities involving child exploitation, Follett also possessed a collection of images featuring adult pornography, as well as material involving animals, which further underscores the disturbing nature of his offenses. The authorities uncovered his illicit digital files during a thorough investigation into his online behavior.

As part of the court's ruling, Follett was ordered to register as a sex offender for a period of ten years, a measure designed to monitor and manage his potential risk to the community. Furthermore, a sexual harm prevention order was imposed, restricting his access to certain online platforms and activities to prevent any future offenses. The case highlights ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat the distribution of illegal and harmful material on the internet, especially involving vulnerable victims such as children.
