A "perverted and disgusting" sex offender who offered to sell indecent images of children has been jailed for 30 months.Muhibur Rahman, 23, from Bradford, was arrested in December 2022 after police were told he had uploaded material online.
When officers seized his phone they found almost 100 indecent images as well as messages sent via the Telegram app requesting money in exchange for sending the pictures on to others.
Rahman pleaded guilty to three charges relating to downloading indecent images and three charges of distributing images; he was jailed at Bradford Crown Court.
Prosecutor Alisha Kaye told the court there were messages dating back to January 2022 showing people had asked Rahman for images and videos, and he had asked for payment.
He was found to have distributed 27 still and moving images through the app.
Passing sentence, Recorder Tony Watkin described the material as some of the most "perverted and disgusting behaviour being inflicted upon those who are the most vulnerable and defenceless in society." He highlighted that Rahman was involved in making money from this activity, as shown by messages on Telegram.
The judge emphasized that Rahman's acceptance of his sexual interest in children was the start of his rehabilitation journey.
Rahman was also given a 10-year sexual harm prevention order and will be required to register as a sex offender with the police for the next 10 years.
