Sex offender caught with more indecent images of children.

Cambridgeshire Sex Offender Sentenced for More Indecent Images of Children

A Cambridgeshire sex offender, Aaron Goosey, has been sentenced to two years and six months in prison for possessing more indecent images of children. Goosey, 44, was already subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) and Sex Offenders Register notification requirements due to previous convictions including exposure, making indecent images of children, and breaches of previous orders.

Police officers visiting Goosey's home in April became suspicious after discovering he had deleted a social media messaging app. A subsequent search of his phone revealed 46 indecent images of children and one video of the same nature. It was also found that Goosey had used the deleted messaging app to share these images, in violation of his SHPO.

Goosey had also deleted Facebook Messenger chats and failed to inform police of a new alias he had created, further breaching his Sex Offenders Register notification requirements.

Despite initially denying the charges, Goosey later admitted to two counts of making indecent images of children, failing to comply with Sex Offenders Register notification requirements, and breaching his SHPO.

At Cambridge Crown Court on December 8, Goosey was sentenced to prison, placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life, and his existing SHPO was extended indefinitely.

Constable Beckie Hallam, who investigated the case, stated: "The main aim of the MOSOVO team is to protect vulnerable children, whether in the real world or online. Cases such as these help to highlight that work, which most of the time goes on behind the scenes. A child is victimised when an indecent image is taken and every time it is viewed or shared. "Goosey's offending shows he had failed to learn his lesson. I hope he now reflects on his actions and he will continue to be monitored by the team on his release from prison."
