Man jailed for downloading child porn while living at girlfriend's home in Rugby

The police were contacted about what was found on Paul Armitage’s computer, and at Warwick Crown Court he pleaded guilty to four charges of making indecent images of children.

Armitage, 54, now of Southfield Court, Gloucester, was jailed for eight months and ordered to register as a sex offender for ten years.

Prosecutor Cathlyn Orchard said that last year Armitage was in a relationship with a Rugby woman and living at her home, but her son had concerns about him.

So when he went to check on his mother’s home when she and Armitage were on holiday in July, he decided to look on Armitage’s computer.

At first he saw a couple of videos of children which, although they were not of an indecent nature, made him suspicious.

“He carried on looking and found a folder which did contain indecent images of children, and he contacted the police who seized the computer, a hard drive and a laptop.”
