MARRIED NOTTINGHAM MAN CAUGHT WITH ALMOST 30,000 SICK CHILD ABUSE IMAGES
A 64-year-old married man was found with almost 30,000 sick child abuse images on his computer.Nottingham Crown Court heard how Trevor Jeffrey has also made more than 131,000 keyword searches for the vile material of children as young as six.
When police executed a warrant at his Hucknall home the defendant told his wife he had looked “out of curiosity” rather than having any sexual interest in children.
All parties at his sentencing hearing agreed that there was no evidence he intended to carry out any contact offences which could have seen him actually try to communicate directly with any potential young victims.
Handing him a 20-month jail term, suspended for two years, Judge Michael Auty KC said: “There is a view that this is a victimless crime.
That view is grossly mistaken.
The images that people look at or choose to access for their own frankly perverted pleasure are of somebody’s children.
“It took you time to admit what you had been doing and the depths you had sunk and I suspect that was to placate your wife.
The search terms (you used) make it absolutely obvious this was material you were seeking out and there was a massive amount of category C images.” Declan Austin, prosecuting, said police executed a warrant at Jeffrey’s address on January 8, 2025, after information was received that an internet address at the property was accessing child abuse images on the internet.
He said the officers asked him if they knew why they might be there and he answered “yes” before telling his wife he “looked at them out of curiosity”.
The prosecutor said: “A white computer tower was analysed and on it were some 328 (of the most serious) category image and one moving image; 126 still category B and two movies and 28,464 category C as well as six moving images and 326 prohibited images of children.
Evidence showed there was also 131,471 keyword searches carried out from the device.
The children were mainly girls and the age range of all of them was six-to-12.”
