Sheerness pervert jailed
Comments |
A man has been jailed for more than three years for 20
offences including the distribution of indecent images of
children.
Alan Hannaby from Ranelagh Road, Sheerness, was sentenced at
Maidstone Crown Court today (Wednesday) after previously
pleading guilty to 10 offences of distributing indecent images of
children and 10 offences of making indecent images of children.
Police carried out a search warrant at the 51-year-old’s home on
December 22, 2008, and he was arrested.
Kent Police’s digital forensics unit examined computer equipment
seized from his home and found evidence of indecent images and
movies of children.
They found 2,356 images ranging from level one to five and eight
movies also ranging from level one to five.
The court heard how Hannaby had previous convictions for
indecent assault on two women/girls and inciting gross indecency
and gross indecency in 1995.
He has been sentenced to three and a half years
imprisonment and is also required to sign the sex offenders’
register.
Senior investigating officer DC Mark Tyler said: “Hannaby has
repeatedly demonstrated that he is a danger to children.
“His distribution of images of children being abused serves to
encourage further abuse and continues to victimise vulnerable
children featured in the picture.”
