A pensioner from Ellesmere Port has been jailed for a series of offences involving indecent images of children spanning more than a decade.

Graham Adshead, of Heathfield Road, admitted four counts of taking indecent photographs of a child, two counts of making indecent photographs of a child, two counts of distributing indecent photographs of a child and one count of possessing indecent photographs of a child.

The 73-year-old was sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment at Chester Crown Court on October 19.

The court also imposed a sexual harm prevention order for 10 years and ordered that Adshead sign the sex offenders register.
