Description

Antony Bowden, 52, collected indecent photographs of children over five years. Police discovered the images on three mobile phones during a raid on his home in 2021.

In 2025, Judge Nigel Peters KC described Bowden's actions as “inexplicable” but allowed him to avoid prison.

The court revealed he had 805 category C images, 43 category B images, and 46 category A images, including a prohibited image of a child and extreme pornography. Bowden pleaded guilty to multiple charges and is set to be sentenced on April 28.

Maximum sentences vary by category.
