Griffin's devices also contained 20 prohibited images and 301 images classified as extreme pornography.

The prosecutor, Victoria Lamballe, highlighted the severity of the case due to the large number of victims and the vulnerabilities involved.

The judge, Louise Cox, emphasized the seriousness of the offenses, noting that the images involved real children and warning Griffin of imprisonment if he reoffended.
