A MAN who had nearly 4,000 indecent still and moving images of children on his laptop and tablet has avoided a jail sentence.
Curtis Thick, 23, of Jubilee Road, Poole, was given a stark warning by judge Mr Robert Pawson, who said the defendant was “in part responsible” for the abuse perpetrated on the victims.
Officers attended Thick’s address and seized a Toshiba laptop and Samsung tablet, Bournemouth Crown Court heard on December 21.
They found 133 category A still images of children and one category A moving image on the laptop, 210 category B still images and one category B moving image, and 108 category C moving images.
