A Liverpool PAEDOPHILE, Callum Latimer, who was found with a disgusting collection of child sex abuse photographs has walked free from court.
Callum Latimer was in tears in the dock at Liverpool Crown Court on Wednesday, August 16, as he appeared to be sentenced for his filthy image collection.
The 23-year-old, Callum Latimer, admitted to three counts of manufacturing indecent photos of children, as well as one count each of possessing indecent images of children and banned images of children.
However, a senior judge opted not to imprison him immediately because of his ‘neurodiverse problems’ and previous good conduct.
Christopher Hopkins, for the Crown Prosecution Service, told the court that the defendant’s devices contained a combination of obscene photos and recordings of minors.
Following their seizure, authorities conducted a forensic examination and discovered 165 obscene photographs and videos of children as young as three.
Of these, 58 were classified as the most severe type of child sexual abuse, including rape, while the remaining 107 were divided into 42 category B photos and 65 category C.
Officers discovered 1,578 unlawful photos of minors during their search, which included sketches, paintings, and cartoons that either focused on a child’s genitalia or depicted a sexual act with a child.
Judge Andrew Menary sentenced Callum Latimer, of Keswick Crescent in Bolton, to six months in prison, suspended for 18 months.
He must also complete the Horizon sex offender rehabilitation programme and perform 150 hours of unpaid community service.
In addition, the court ordered that he follow a sexual harm prevention order for the next five years and sign the sex offender register.
