ISAAC KAY-SMITH

ISLE OF WIGHT SEX OFFENDER HAD CHILDREN'S UNDERWEAR AND NAPPIES

Isaac Kay-Smith, of George Street, Ryde, appeared before a judge at the Isle of Wight Crown Court on Friday, February 27.

At a previous hearing in December last year, the 27-year-old admitted: Possessing 274 extreme pornographic images which portrayed, in an explicit and realistic way, a person performing an act of intercourse with live or dead animals.

Possessing 1,199 prohibited images of a child.

Making 23 indecent Cat A images (the most serious) of a child.

Making 13 indecent Cat B images of a child.

Making 46 indecent Cat C images of a child.

Prosecutor, Tim Devlin, said the offences were discovered following a National Crime Agency enquiry into material being uploaded from a internet account linked to a Ryde address.

Officers executed a warrant at Kay-Smith’s home in Ryde on July 20, 2022, and seized 42 digital devices, of which five proved relevant to their investigation.

Police also found two pairs of children’s underwear, nappies, a baby’s dummy and a knife, which all belonged to Kay-Smith.

The court heard he denied any sexual interest or attraction to children.

Kay-Smith was handed a 24-month community order, to include a 12-session mental health treatment requirement, 35 rehabilitation days, and 150 hours of unpaid work.

He was also made subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and police notification requirements for the next ten years.
