Mr Fryer told Cardiff Crown Court: “The defendant told the police he had an adult pornography addiction to begin with. “He said he was suffering from depression and his addiction spiralled out of control and that he started to view indecent images of children. “The defendant was fully aware that what he was doing was wrong and he said he had feelings of disgust. “He forwarded the images by using a share button to other users and said he wasn’t sexually aroused by them.” Construction worker Eynon, 29, of Hengoed Avenue, Cefn Hengoed, near Ystrad Mynach, pleaded guilty to the distribution of indecent photographs of children.
Cardiff Crown Court was told how the stun gun seized from Hathway was described as an “iPhone zapper”. Officers carried out a search the defendant’s home and they found 27 separate deals of cannabis with a potential street value of £540. They also discovered a small amount of cocaine. Hathway, of High Cross Close, Rogerstone, pleaded guilty to possession of a Taser. He also admitted possession of cannabis with intent to supply and possession of cocaine. The defendant had five previous convictions for five offences. These included assault occasioning actual bodily harm, affray, harassment and perverting the course of justice. Nigel Fryer, representing Hathway, said in mitigation: “It was foolish to purchase the Taser.
