Dad-of two had child porn on computer (Ferryhill, County Durham, England, United Kingdom)

Dad STEPHEN PAUL WILLIAMS has 'fessed up to the charges, but where is Mum? I don't see any indication that there was a mother in this home at all. And, needless to say, the lack of a mother in the home escalates the risks of sexual abuse tremendously. As usual, Daddy's actions are blamed on his "depression" etc.

INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT.

Father-of-two had child porn on his computer

A FATHER-OF-TWO who was due to begin a university teaching course next month has admitted 17 charges of possessing indecent images of children.

Stephen Paul Williams left his job as an Asda night manager, but his plans for a career in education are in tatters after police found 64 images of child porn on a computer at his home in Ferryhill, County Durham.

The 40-year-old was spared jail yesterday after Recorder Darren Preston suspended an eight-month jail sentence for two years. He will be placed on the sex offenders’ register for ten years and banned from working with children.

Don McFaul, prosecuting, said police arrested Williams after a legitimate website, buildarecipe.co.uk, was hacked into in 2008 and plastered with indecent images of children.

The porn, including some in the most serious category, remained online for 18 hours and was viewed by 2,223 users.

Mr McFaul said Williams downloaded 64 images, including 59 at level one – the least serious – one at level two, three at level three and one at level four. The most serious is level five.

Police arrested him at his home in Lanark Terrace, on January 16. He admitted 17 charges of possessing child porn.

Zoe Passfield, for Williams, said he had “dabbled” with child porn, but quickly realised the error of his ways.

She said the offences were historic – Williams downloaded the images in early 2009 and last viewed them in April 2009. She also said that at the time, Williams was depressed, was drinking too much and suffering from ill health.

She said he was appalled and sickened by his actions.

Ms Passfield said he had since turned his life around, winning student of the year on a previous college course.

Recorder Preston said that although most of the images were at level one, some were not; and these were disturbing and represented almost the most serious abuse of children imaginable.

He said: “For those images to be created, there has to be the abuse of children. If it was not for people who are willing to look at those images, there would not be quite so much abuse.

“Your activities, albeit for a short period of time, directly came about as the result of the abuse of children. The impact on the victims of these kinds of offences hardly bears thinking about.

“You have children yourself.

“You do not need me to tell you how you would feel if similar things happened to them.

“There is no excuse for what you did.”
