Digital paedo jailed
A paedophile has a nine-year custodial sentence after accessing and storing paedophilic material. Ashley Holmes is an example of overuse of illegal media including children.
A detective with Nottinghamshire Police has said Holmes is also guilty of encouraging its distribution by using it. It was downloaded, not made, but supports its production.
“It is rare to find such an extensive amount of footage, and the videos, as well as the images, depicted the very worst abuse of children. We know a real child has suffered appalling physical and emotional abuse to produce every one of these images or videos. Offenders like Holmes may not be committing this abuse in person, but they are certainly contributing to it every time they view, download or share this disturbing material.”
The police were able to analyze devices owned by Holmes and find the location of a data storage facility. He’d collected hundreds of hours of the worst kinds of footage.

How to deal with traffickers
In dealing with trafficking at close quarters a lot of things occur.
There’s a reaction by those who do it that’s vile and also violent at times. The fact is police and law enforcement deal with this threat daily.
The other reality is the disaster they cause.
A trafficker is not a flight attendant for a nice journey or an air traffic controller who makes it ordered. He or she is a criminal who only knows the worst methods of how to do something bad.
He or she is not friendly.
They are an aggressor against society and our civilised way of life.
The threat at our shores – particularly first at Dover but also the length of it later on – is a tale that fits our history as an island nation. It doesn’t make sense because it isn’t France, German Nazi’s, or Spanish galleons this time.
It’s more akin to a transatlantic slave trade and yet it’s here – right there on our coast. It has to be fought off by our Border Force because its methods are medieval and its perpetrator’s are bad people.

Picture #2 The photos are evidence of their whereabouts and also the public nature of their activities. They were both found in reasonably public places and this draws concern as well.
