Stephen Anthony Harris, aged 41 from Rhos, appeared before Mold Crown Court and was imprisoned for three years for possession and distribution of child abuse images.

Investigating Officer DC Morgan Thomas, North Wales Police Paedophile On-Line Investigation Team (POLIT) said: “I welcome the sentence and hope this will reinforce our commitment to eradicate all forms of child abuse and relentlessly pursue those in our communities who perpetrate such vile acts.

“Each and every time an image is taken, uploaded or viewed a child is abused and those who commit such offences must learn there are victims behind each and every image.”

DC Thomas added: “If you have concerns about anyone who may be in possession of indecent images of children contact North Wales Police on 101 or alternatively via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
