Summary
A 37-year-old man, Stephen Gordon, was sentenced for possessing indecent images of children as young as three, with 32 images found on his devices in December. After a delayed trial due to data recovery issues, he pleaded guilty with no prior record. His defense highlighted struggles with cocaine addiction and depression, but noted he’s now sober and preparing for a new job. The judge acknowledged his rehabilitation over 16 months and the devastating harm to children, sentencing him to an 18-month community order with strict conditions: 25 activity days, 200 unpaid hours, court fees, alcohol monitoring, and a five-year sexual harm prevention order.
