A father-of-two from Shropshire has been jailed for 10 months after making nearly 50,000 indecent child images, many in the most graphic category.

Adrian Pearce, of Hopkins Heath, Shawbirch, Telford, appeared at Shrewsbury Crown Court for sentencing after admitting 10 charges of making around 48,760 images.

The court heard he had kept his obsession a ‘dark secret’ for more than a decade.

The court heard the 63-year-old had collected the images from the internet over a 10 to 15 year period.

Pearce admitted making about 47,290 photos and 380 videos at level one, the least graphic. He also admitted making about 40 photographs and five videos at level five, depicting the most graphic abuse.

Mr Robert James Edwards, prosecuting, said police were acting on intelligence when they carried out a search warrant at his property in September 2011. He told the court Pearce was later arrested and confessed to police he had been collecting indecent images for about 10 to 15 years.

Mr Dean Easthope, for Pearce, said his client had become obsessed with the images. He said: “He has distorted thinking. He became a recluse.”

Judge Robin Onions told Pearce: “On the outside you were a well-respected working man. But you kept a dark secret.”

Pearce was also barred from working with children for life.
