Newport Paedophile Ryan Stonehouse, who possessed a disgusting assortment of indecent photographs of children, which were gathered over nearly 11 years, has been exempted from imprisonment.
Ryan Stonehouse, a 26-year-old individual, was discovered when law enforcement officers visited his residence in Newport and confiscated four electronic devices. Among these devices, three were found to contain disturbing information involving the abuse of children.
The court was informed that Ryan Stonehouse possessed a collection consisting of 49 category A photographs, which portray the most extreme kind of child sexual assault, including baby rape, child murder, child torture and bestiality, as well as 96 category B images and 644 category C images. He collected the pictures and videos from July 2009 to April 2020.
“It is the type of deviant behaviour that we unfortunately encounter quite often,” stated prosecutor John R. Oates, alluding to the frequency with which individuals like Ryan Stonehouse accused of possessing explicit photos appear in court.
