In a significant case stemming from the town of Driffield, Philip Riddiford, a 31-year-old man with ties to Bell, has been handed a substantial prison sentence of three years. The conviction follows a detailed investigation into his possession and distribution of highly disturbing and illegal material involving child exploitation and extreme pornography.

Authorities uncovered that Riddiford was in possession of over 400 illicit images, which included both photographs and videos. Among these were distressing recordings depicting children as young as four years old being subjected to sexual abuse. The material also contained explicit content involving bestiality, highlighting the severity and depravity of his offenses.

In addition to his prison term, Riddiford has been mandated to register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life, a measure designed to monitor and restrict his activities post-release. Furthermore, he has been subject to a sexual harm prevention order, which imposes strict conditions aimed at preventing any future offenses and protecting the community from potential harm.

The case underscores the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to combat the distribution of child exploitation material and extreme pornography, emphasizing the importance of vigilance and swift judicial action in such grave matters.
