Paedophile caught at Beeston workplace claimed he had 'no sexual interest in children'

PAEDOPHILE CAUGHT AT BEESTON WORKPLACE CLAIMED HE HAD 'NO SEXUAL INTEREST IN CHILDREN'

A young paedophile who was sent vile abuse images of children tried to claim he had no sexual interest in viewing them.

But a judge told Kyle Riley he refuted that suggestion as “the sheer number and period of time he viewed them” indicated otherwise.

Nottingham Crown Court heard how the 23-year-old was arrested at his workplace in Beeston after officers failed to find him at his home in Long Eaton.

On the phone they seized from him were the videos and stills mostly of youngsters aged 10 or under being sexually abused by adults.

Handing him an eight-month prison term, suspended for two years, Judge Steven Coupland said: “Back in 2022, a number of indecent images of children were found on your phone, over 600 in total.

122 of them were the most serious category A, and 50 of those were videos rather than still images.

Those images were appalling; they involved children, often young children, engaged in sexual activity.

Your account in your pre-sentence report is that you were sent those images by others, and I agree with that.

You went on to say you did not request them, deleted them and were not interested in them.

I’m afraid I don’t accept that.

The sheer number of them and the period of time you viewed them shows me you did have a sexual interest in children.

These are real children suffering real abuse, which is perpetuated by people like you viewing them.”
