Cambs man caught with more than 200 indecent images of children

A man who was found in possession of more than 200 indecent images of children which he also shared with other perverts online has been jailed.

Ryan Hart, 32, pleaded guilty to making and distributing indecent images of children after officers carried out a warrant at his home.

Officers seized three phones during the warrant in July 2021, following intel reports from the National Crime Agency. The reports suggested Hart had been uploading images to an internet chat room.

Of the images on the phones, 63 were category A. This is the most serious category showing rape and torture of children

Hart, of Stow Road, Ixworth, Bury St Edmunds, lived in Littleport, Cambridgeshire, at the time the offences took place.

He pleaded guilty to six counts of making and distributing indecent images of children and was sentenced to 18 months in prison at Peterborough Crown Court on Monday
