Philip Robst, a convicted Doncaster Paedophile sex offender was sentenced to 18 months in prison for violating several sexual harm prevention orders and for possessing violent pornographic photos depicting sexual acts with animals.
Philip Robst, 40, of HMP and YOI Moorland, Bawtry Road, Lindholme, Doncaster, was sentenced to 18 months in prison at Bradford Crown Court after pleading guilty to five offences, including the possession of extreme pornographic images depicting sexual acts with animals, an offence committed in Bradford on September 24, 2021.
On May 19, 2021, he was charged with breaching sexual harm prevention orders including subscribing to Snapchat which includes file-based storage, refusing to allow access to inspect any device or electronic data and deleting history from hardware or a device.
On May 19, 2021, Philip Robst was also charged with failing to comply with requirements in relation to the sex offender’s register.
Prosecutor David Ward said Philip Robst was previously convicted of offences of sexual activity with a child.
Mr Ward said: “This is clearly a deliberate breach and it’s all aggravated by his previous conviction.”
Philip Robst’s defence solicitor said: “Mr Robst found himself isolated because of Covid and found solace in pornography.”
But he added that the defendant had admitted his “stupidity” and “accepted his behaviour at the earliest opportunity”.
In sentencing Philip Robst to 18 months, Recorder Alex Menary, said: “The police found eight extreme images of sex with animals, seven still and one moving, on your device and there were many other images deleted.”
