TEENAGER WHO USED AI TO CREATE INDECENT IMAGES OF CHILDREN SHOWED 'WORRYING LEVEL OF SEXUAL DEVIANCE'
William Barrett, 19 and of Chirk Road, Gobowen, was sentenced at Shrewsbury Crown Court having previously admitted four charges.
Barrett had pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children, in categories A, B, and C, as well as possession of extreme pornographic images.
The offending was uncovered during a police raid on Barrett's home in May.
Officers recovered a mobile phone and a tablet, with the court being informed that the majority of offending material was stored on the phone.
Prosecutor Giles Pengelly stated, "The device contained hundreds of indecent movies and images, along with around 500 extreme images." The court considered Barrett's actions as demonstrating a "worrying level of sexual deviance" and sentenced him accordingly.
