Leeds pervert distributed indecent child images online and asked parents to send him pictures of their children

Jack Taylor was arrested at his then home on Lower Mickletown, near Methley, after West Yorkshire Police received intelligence about his criminal behaviour.

Leeds Crown Court heard officers went to the 24-year-old's home on January 11, 2019, and took him into custody.

Catherine Duffy, prosecuting, said two mobile phones were seized from the property and taken away for analysis.

A total of 55 indecent child images were recovered.

Eleven of the images were at category A - the most serious level of offending.

Ms Duffy said Taylor had also downloaded an app on one of the phones which he used to share illegal images with others.

Investigators also recovered 316 conversations Taylor had engaged in with other sex offenders.
