A MAN will have to sign on the sex offenders’ register and take part in a sex offenders’ treatment programme after police found indecent photos of children on his home Macbook.
Peter Hill, of Little Ribston, near Wetherby pleaded guilty to eight offences of possessing sexual images of children, committed between August 31, 2010, and September 2, 2012.
He was given a three-year community order with the programme and three years’ supervision and will be on the register for five years.
York Crown Court heard Hill, 41, had eight pictures in the deleted section of his computer which he had been sent unsolicited by email and that he had been searching the web for sites about children and talking in chat rooms. He accepted that he needed to change his behaviour.
