John Hamilton, 37, of Gambier Terrace in Liverpool s Georgian Quarter
A paedophile caught with child rape photos says he s trying to change by learning the guitar and listening to podcasts.
John Hamilton was jailed for two years in 2011 for possessing, downloading and distributing indecent images of children. The then 27-year-old, from Widnes, was told to sign on the Sex Offenders Register and hit with a 10-year Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO).
That prevented him possessing a photo of any child under 16, unless they were a family member and he had the permission of their parent or guardian.
