Indecent images of children found in home for second time.

Man Jailed for Possessing Over 1,000 Indecent Images of Children

Warren David Manners, 45, of Sowerby Close, Eltham, has been sentenced to two years and eight months in prison at Woolwich Crown Court. He pleaded guilty to multiple charges related to indecent images of children, including making, possessing, and breaching a sexual harm prevention order.

Manners, a registered sex offender with a previous conviction for possessing indecent images of children, had been issued a sexual harm prevention order prohibiting him from possessing digital devices without notifying authorities.

On March 22, police executed a search warrant at Manners' flat and discovered 32 digital devices hidden throughout his residence, including a cupboard with multiple locks. Hundreds of still photographs of children were also found.

Officers determined that 21 of the seized devices contained indecent images of children. Manners was subsequently charged and pleaded guilty at his first court appearance on March 23.

Detective James Cronin stated, "Manners is by his own admission a paedophile who has repeatedly ignored court orders intended to help him desist from his criminal behaviour."
