Description Simon Neale, 54, recently admitted sexually assaulting the girl while she slept and recording the act. A court heard the child had no idea what happened until police investigated Neale’s electronic devices and found the images indecent, leading to assault charges sexual. Neale, formerly of Telford but recently of Catshill in Worcestershire, had his door knocked on by police in July 2022 while living in Telford. They had traced potentially illegal activities to him using a Dropbox account and his Internet Protocol (IP) address, prosecutor Mr Robert Edwards told Shrewsbury Crown Court this week. Mr Edwards said that when officers knocked on Neale’s door and asked him to come in, he asked them “is that Dropbox?” His home was searched and officers seized his devices. Police found hundreds of indecent images of children, still and moving, on a Sony laptop and an 8GB SD card, including 119 category A images, the most serious in the eyes of the law, depicting the worst abuses. In interviews with police, Neale said he was “addicted to pornography” and had “unintentionally” downloaded images of children, the court heard.
