Man convicted of severe child abuse images avoids immediate jail
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Nov, 13:04 · Archive
A 27-year-old man who pleaded guilty to making 26 category A indecent images of children has received a suspended sentence.
Anthony Isaacs, 27, of Buckingham Crescent in Bicester, appeared at Oxford Magistrates Court, sitting at High Wycombe, and pleaded guilty to making 26 category A indecent images of children—the most severe type possible. Between March 9, 2020 and May 16, 2022, he also made 22 category B images, kept 20 prohibited images and 402 category C images of children.
On 21 October, Isaacs was sentenced to 12 months in jail, suspended for 18 months. The court suspended the custodial sentence because he had no previous convictions and wished for him to 'have chance to complete work with probation in the community'. The court also cited a 'new presumption to suspend all sentences unless certain circumstances apply'.
As part of his sentence, Isaacs must complete 150 hours of unpaid work and will be supervised by probation services. He has been ordered to sign the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years and report to police in Banbury. A Sexual Harm Prevention Order was imposed restricting his use of internet-enabled devices, cloud storage, messaging apps, social media, VPNs and other online services. He cannot use anonymising software, private browsing modes, encryption or file-deletion tools without permission, must notify police of all devices and accounts, and is prohibited from contact with children under 16.
