ALAN SCOTT
The judge at Teesside Crown Court told Alan Scott, 19, his dealings were no doubt much appreciated by paedophiles.
Scott, who lived in a caravan at Sutton-on-Forest, York, admitted three charges of producing indecent photos, one of distributing them and two of website deception.
While on bail, Scott terrified a woman in the village by knocking on her front door claiming to have a gun and demanding to be let in.
She slammed the door shut and barricaded herself in her bedroom with her four-year-old daughter as she heard her windows being smashed, said Dan Cordey, prosecuting.
Scott, who admitted possessing a knife as an offensive weapon and causing an affray, was sentenced to a total of two years' detention.
Mr Simon Reevell, mitigating, told the court: "All the pornographic images were on the Internet already.
He did not do it for money - it made him feel significant on the Internet." Judge David Bryant said: "You provided a service no doubt much appreciated by the paedophile community.
You also behaved in a way that terrified a householder.
I have a duty to protect the public from your attentions whether on the ground or in cyberspace."
