A former teacher who downloaded more than 46,000 indecent images of children onto his computer devices was spared an immediate jail sentence on Wednesday.
Ian Bradbury, 66, who was described as having an addiction to downloading material onto his devices, was arrested after police carried out a raid on his home in Long Sutton back in August 2019.
Eunice Opare-Addo, prosecuting, told Lincoln Crown Court: “Officers attended at the home address of the defendant due to information received by the police and he was arrested for making indecent images of children.”
As a result of the raid police took away three computer hard drives, a laptop and a tablet. A total of 46,485 indecent images of children were found on the devices including 330 in the most serious category. 565 of the images were moving images.
