Pensioner Dodges Jail For Sick Porn Stash

A pensioner, caught by police with a collection of child porn, plus images of people having sex with animals, dodged jail with a suspended yesterday.

Derek Eastoe, 66, of Hurlstone Road, Selhurst had collected over 700 sick images, some depicting children as young as six being sexually abused.

He was sentenced at Croydon Crown Court (pictured) to eight months imprisonment, suspended for two years, and ordered to pay £428 costs.

The court heard Eastoe was not part of any active paedophile ring and did not distribute the material he found on the internet.

Eastoe pleaded guilty to multiple counts of making indecent images of children and one count of possessing an indecent image of a child on or before July 11, last year.

He also admitted possessing images of extreme pornography, namely people engaged in sexual activity with animals.
