Paedophile found with more than 1,000 indecent images of children.

Sheppey Paedophile Jailed for Possession of Child Abuse Images

A Sheppey paedophile, Michael Frost (57) of Minster-on-Sea, has been sentenced to three years' imprisonment for possessing over 1,000 indecent images of children.

Frost was found guilty of three counts of making an indecent photograph of a child following a trial at Maidstone Crown Court. He denied the charges, but the evidence presented by Kent Police was compelling.

The conviction came after officers from Kent Police's Violent and Sex Offender Register (ViSOR) Team became suspicious of Frost's online activity during regular checks. They detained him at his home and subsequently discovered 1,048 indecent images of children on his devices.

Detective Sergeant Vicky Whitmill, from Kent Police, stated, "Our ViSOR officers are dedicated to monitoring individuals who pose a threat to the public. Their work focuses on preventing offenses, supporting victims, and ensuring strong action is taken against offenders."

She continued, "The swift action taken against Frost, following the discovery of his illegal activity, resulted in a thorough review of evidence and subsequent charges. The investigating officer's persistence and commitment led to a prison sentence for a man who demonstrated a persistent and callous disregard for the victims depicted in the images."

Whitmill emphasized, "This case serves as a reminder of our unwavering commitment to using all available resources to protect the public and hold those responsible for harm accountable."
