KEVIN PARSK FROM ST LEONARDS SENTENCED FOR POSSESSING 59,000 INDECENT CHILD IMAGES IN HOVE

In a serious case brought before Hove Crown Court, Kevin Parsk, a 56-year-old resident of Kent Road in St Leonards, faced justice for his disturbing possession of indecent images of children. The court proceedings took place on Monday, December 23, 2013, where Parsk was formally sentenced for his crimes.

Parsk pleaded guilty to a total of 13 criminal charges, which included the creation of a staggering 59,000 indecent images depicting minors. In addition to these charges, he admitted to possessing two counts of extreme pornographic material. The scale of his offenses highlights a significant breach of the law and a grave violation of the safety and dignity of children.

As part of his sentencing, the court handed down a 16-month prison term, but this sentence was suspended for two years, meaning Parsk will not serve time in prison unless he commits another offense within that period. Furthermore, he was subjected to a two-year supervision order, which will require him to regularly report to authorities and comply with certain conditions aimed at monitoring his conduct.

In addition to the supervision order, Parsk was mandated to participate in a Sex Offenders Treatment Programme, a rehabilitative measure intended to address underlying issues and prevent future offenses. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender, a legal requirement that ensures ongoing monitoring and public awareness of his status.

This case underscores the ongoing efforts of law enforcement and judicial authorities to combat the distribution and possession of child exploitation material, and to protect vulnerable minors from exploitation and abuse. The court’s decision reflects the seriousness with which such offenses are regarded and the commitment to ensuring offenders are held accountable for their actions.
