At the Magistrates’ Court in May, Fulham, of Sugworth Lane, Radley, pleaded guilty to three counts of possession of indecent images and a fourth charge of having prohibited images of children.

His vile collection included 99 images in the worst category – A – and 46 in category B.

The judge ordered Fulham abide by a five year sexual harm prevention order. The tablet computer on which the images were found will be destroyed. He must pay £425 prosecution costs.
