FLINT MAN ALAN EVANS CAUGHT WITH THOUSANDS OF CHILD ABUSE IMAGES IN FLINT AND SHOTTON
In July 2016, authorities uncovered a disturbing case involving Alan Evans, a resident of Flint, who was found to possess an extensive collection of indecent images of children. The police executed a search warrant at his residence in Marian, Flint, based on credible intelligence suggesting illegal activity. During the raid, officers discovered thousands of such images stored across multiple devices, including a computer, an iPhone, and a storage card. The sheer volume of material was so significant that forensic analysis was limited due to the time and costs involved, but it was confirmed that the images included some of the most severe categories of child exploitation.At Mold Crown Court, Evans, aged 39, who had since moved to an address on Terrig Street in Shotton, pleaded guilty to 14 separate charges related to possessing indecent images of children. Prosecutor Ffion Tomos detailed that police recovered 141 images classified as Category A, the most serious, along with 100 images in Category B and 278 in Category C. Additionally, authorities found two Category A videos, two Category B videos, and three Category C videos. The collection also included 289 extreme videos and a disturbing image depicting sexual activity involving an adult and an animal. The children depicted ranged in age from as young as six months to 16 years old.
During the investigation, it was revealed that Evans had stored some images in hidden folders, likely to revisit them repeatedly. His offending behavior spanned several months, from July of the previous year through April of the current year. The case was further complicated by the nature of some images, which involved very young children, and the fact that Evans had attempted to conceal his activities by hiding certain files.
Judge Rhys Rowlands addressed Evans directly, noting that he was a man with no prior convictions, who until the police intervention was in a stable relationship, had two young children, and maintained steady employment for many years. The judge emphasized that Evans’s actions had jeopardized all of this, highlighting the serious impact of his behavior. Despite the gravity of the offenses, Evans had shown some insight into his actions and their effects, as indicated in the pre-sentence report, and was motivated to seek help.
In mitigation, Evans’s defense lawyer, Matthew Dunford, expressed regret over the situation, emphasizing that his client had no previous criminal record and was in a long-term relationship. The lawyer questioned the accuracy of the prosecution’s claim that Evans possessed around 10,000 images, suggesting that figure was exaggerated. It was also noted that Evans’s partner and her family were present in court to support him. Since the discovery of his offenses, Evans had been required to live away from his family home and was under assessment for potential mental health issues, including ADHD and depression.
Judge Rhys Rowlands acknowledged the seriousness of the case but decided to suspend Evans’s prison sentence, which was originally set at eight months. Instead, he was given a two-year suspended sentence, with the condition that he register as a sex offender for ten years and adhere to a sexual harm prevention order. Evans was also ordered to participate in an internet sex offender treatment program run by the probation service. The judge noted that Evans posed a low risk of reoffending but stressed the importance of supervision given the nature of his crimes.
In conclusion, the court recognized the significant number of images involved and the disturbing content, which warranted a custodial sentence. However, considering Evans’s background, remorse, and potential for rehabilitation, the sentence was suspended, aiming to balance justice with the possibility of reform.
