Philip Taylor, a computer programmer from Bestwood, tried to cover his tracks
A computer programmer from Nottingham has been caught with sick child abuse images 12 years after he was jailed for similar offences. Nottingham Crown Court heard how Philip Taylor used software to cover up evidence that he had been looking for perverted pictures.
Handing the defendant, of Bestwood Village, a nine-month jail term, suspended for two years, Recorder Stuart Sprawson said: “On or about July 24, 2022, police came to your home and they found on your phone and laptop indecent images of children. They also found software which would help disguise what you were viewing for your own sexual gratification.“It is self-evident from this, and your previous conviction, you had a interest in young children.
The prosecutor said there was also evidence that he came by the images during online chats on a forum called Motherless where he was using a profile called "dominant taboo” but the defendant was not charged with any additional offences relating to those online conversations. Mr Hayes said: “The images showed a boy and three girls aged 10 to 14 and girls aged six to 10 years old.
Gregor Purcell, mitigating, said the defendant and his wife both mainly work from home as programmers for different firms and as such she would be able to keep an eye on his online activity should his client not be sent immediately to jail. He said: “She knows exactly the nature of his offending and what it entails and she can keep him from offending in this way.
