Paedophile who watched sickening images of 'drugged' children walks free

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A pervert who watched horrific sexual abuse images of children who 'appeared to be drugged' has avoided jail. Jake Addison, 20, watched little girls as young as two being raped online, as well as viewing a number of illegal images of eight-year-old girls being sexually abused on Snapchat and his Xbox.

Addison, who was convicted of similar offences in 2019, was made subject to strict conditions over his internet usage. But Teesside Crown Court heard how he broke those conditions - by using encryption software and deleting his internet history, reports TeessideLive.

They found Addison had installed Snapchat in March 2020. 43 illegal images had been automatically deleted from the app. Prosecutor Uzma Khan said that some of the children in the images appeared drugged.

Addison, of Dalby Close in Redcar, pleaded guilty to three breaches of a sexual harm prevention order. He was found with eight category A indecent images - the most serious kind; three in category B and 37 in category C.
