Michael Neye-Williams the Llanmartin Paedophile, was discovered in possession of graphic photographs and videos depicting severe child abuse and bestiality on his mobile phone.
Michael Neye-Williams, residing in Birch Grove, Llanmartin, Newport, was apprehended in a lorry near his workplace in Avonmouth on January 19 of the previous year, after law enforcement was unable to contact him at his residence.
Michael Neye-Williams surrendered his phone to the police, provided them with the PIN, and informed the officers that they would discover indecent photographs of minors on the device, as stated by prosecutor David Pugh in court.
After examining his phone, police found a video involving a man having sex with a girl aged between 10 and 13, as well as a number of images of young girls exposing themselves and performing sexual acts on men.
In total, he was found with one Category A – the most extreme level – video, one picture and one video in Category B, and 14 pictures in Category C.
Officers also found seven pictures of extreme pornography – involving men and women having sex with live animals.
Mr Pugh said there were also “46 indicative images” that, although not illegal, were “inappropriate”, as well as “inappropriate internet search terms” – including “jailbait” and “teen s***s”.
When interviewed, Michael Neye-Williams told police he “did not have sexual interest in children” and “seemed remorseful”, Mr Pugh said.
Michael Neye-Williams, 34, has no previous convictions, having never been caught before.
Gareth Williams, in mitigation, told the court the defendant admitted the charges at the earliest opportunity, and fully co-operated with the police.
“He is sorry. He is remorseful,” Mr Williams added.
Judge Neil Bidder sentenced Michael Neye-Williams to a 36-month community order.
He must complete the Horizon programme, and 30 days of rehabilitation activity requirement.
Michael Neye-Williams was also made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order, and must register as a sex offender – both for five years.
