A Holbeach St Marks teenager who admitted viewing indecent images of children was sentenced to a two year community order after a judge decided he needed “urgent help.”
Joseph Orbell, 18, of Strawberry Fields Drive, uploaded a total of 782 still and 64 moving images of children between January 2015 and March 2019.
Lincoln Crown Court heard police executed a search warrant at Orbell’s home on March 5, 2019 after receiving information that an indecent photograph had been uploaded from an email account linked to him.
Abi Joyce, prosecuting, said Orbell immediately admitted having indecent images on his various devices, and images were found on an iPhone, iPad and his personal computer.
