Callum Ashton-Crisp

A convicted child rapist caught with hundreds of child sexual abuse images — including images involving babies and toddlers — has been jailed after repeatedly breaching a court order.

Callum Ashton-Crisp, aged 22, of Warren View, Little Milton, was sentenced to 21 months in prison at Oxford Crown Court on Friday, October 23, after admitting three breaches of his Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

The court heard he had deleted his internet history, factory-reset a laptop and failed to register the device with police within three days — each an infringement of the restrictions imposed on him.

Ashton-Crisp had been made subject to the order in March following convictions for three offences of making indecent images of children and one of possessing prohibited images of children.

His collection included 167 category A images, the most serious classification, alongside 51 category B and 145 category C images. He also possessed two prohibited images of children.

At the earlier hearing, Judge Michael Roques highlighted Ashton-Crisp’s previous rape of a boy in 2018 and his admitted sexual interest in schoolboys

The judge also pointed out that some of the images involved babies and toddlers, stressing their extreme vulnerability and rejecting his personal difficulties as an explanation for his behaviour.

Ashton-Crisp had also been messaging others about child sexual abuse images. Judge Roques warned that demand for such material fuelled the abuse of the children depicted.

Despite the restrictions imposed in March, Ashton-Crisp went on to breach the order three times.

He has now been sentenced to 21 months behind bars.
