He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years with various conditions, including to confirm his details were correct once a year.
Wilders failed to do so, despite two home visits and a reminder letter by officers from the force’s Public Protection Unit (PPU) in September.
In addition to the above offences, a relative called police in April 2019 after an argument in which Wilders had stormed out from a house but left a phone behind.
The relative checked the phone and discovered indecent images of children, so called the police on the same device.
When arrested, Wilders claimed the phone didn’t belong to him. However, the same number had been used by Wilders to report a crime in January that same year.
