A paedophile has today been jailed for 18 months.

Graham Davis, of Wheeler Street, Maidstone, appeared for sentencing after he pleaded guilty to downloading indecent images of children.

Police found more than 3,350 pictures on the 27-year-old's computer during a raid last year. One of the images was of the most serious nature.

Forty-three hours worth of movies and 176 images were found on media disks.

Officers disovered Davis, who had pretended to be a 15-year-old boy, had distributed images to chat room users.

He claimed he was responsible for a social network website containing collections of indecent pictures of children.

Davis was sentenced to obey a Sex Offenders' Prevention Order for 10 years and was ordered to sign the sex offenders' register for the same period.

One other man has since been arrested in another county and is currently on bail pending analysis of computer equipment.

Inquiries are ongoing to identify further suspects.

Det Con Mikaela Stevens, of Kent Police’s Public Protection Unit, said: "Davis made it quite clear he was happy to share his sickening collection with like-minded individuals.

"It is obvious he had no concept of the possibility that he was encouraging child abuse by doing so, and I am glad that the Public Protection Crime Unit have been able to put a stop to his activities.

"We will continue to try and identify those who he distributed images to, and ensure they are investigated."
