A SEX offender from Bedworth has been jailed for making indecent images of children.
David Seccull, 68, of Suffolk Close in Bedworth, appeared at Warwick Crown Court charged with indecent image offences – including making and distributing indecent images of the most serious Category A – and possession of a bladed article.
He pleaded guilty to the offences and was sentenced to three years and two months imprisonment.
In August last year, police raided his home where evidence of making indecent images of children was found.
Following the sentence, investigating officer PC Naomi Radford said: “Seccull had almost completed his time as a managed sex offender, when we received valuable intelligence that he was continuing to offend.
“Our Sex Offender Management Team secured a warrant, which secured the evidence. Hopefully this case shows that even when offenders think we are not watching them, we are always there and if you continue to engage in illegal activity online then we will work hard to prosecute you.
“I hope prison serves as a reminder to Seccull of the harm his behaviour has caused to his victims. He will now be on the Sex Offenders Register for ten years and will also be subject to a robust Sexual Harm Prevention order.”
