Elliott Day, 41, was sentenced to more than five years after admitting to sexually assaulting children and distributing indecent images.

Elliott Day, 41, of Songers Close, Oxford, has been sentenced to more than five years in prison at Oxford Crown Court. He pleaded guilty to 12 offences including two counts of sexually assaulting a girl, making and possessing indecent images, distributing indecent images, and taking indecent images of children.

Police attended Day's home in June 2023 after indecent images had been uploaded to Instagram. His devices were seized and he admitted in interview that there were indecent images of children as young as three on his devices. He told officers his sexual preference was for children aged between eight and 14.

Forensic examination found Day had downloaded large quantities of material across three categories. He also distributed images and videos across these categories, and police found first-generation images on his devices, meaning Day had taken them himself. Day was the administrator of a paedophile group website that stored and received indecent images of children. He was also in possession of six prohibited images.
