Self-styled paedophile hunter is caught with 1,700 child sex abuse images
A SELF-STYLED paedophile hunter was caught downloading 1,700 child abuse images after becoming attracted to the sickening photos.
Cameron Battisson, 21, was arrested at his home in Sandyford, Staffordshire where his phone and laptop were seized.
"You do seem now to understand that these are real children being abused, being irreparably damaged for the entertainment of people who access this material and those who download this sort of material encourage the perpetrators of this vile abuse.
"It was a significant number of images, many of them moving images. The question I have to assess is the prospect for rehabilitation and there may well be and for that reason I won't send you to prison."
Battisson was made subject to an indefinite sexual harm prevention order and he was made to pay £300 court costs.
