In 2018, the Offender Database reported that Lee Holmes, the East Hull Paedophile Sex Offender, viewed lengthy films depicting the sexual assault of children in the most grotesque manner.
Lee Holmes, then 48, was apprehended with 227 category A videos, the most egregious, within his extensive collection of downloaded child exploitation material.
During a raid at his residence in East Hull on August 30 of the previous year, police discovered 1,837 indecent photographs or films on two computers and a hard drive, as shown in Hull Crown Court.
He possessed one image of explicit pornography.
Recorder Caroline Wigin sentenced Lee Holmes to one year of incarceration, suspended for two years, stating: “For five years, you have remained at home consuming the most egregious forms of child pornography—not merely images, but extensive videos—which you actively viewed.”
Lee Holmes was mandated to participate in 31 sessions of a new Horizons program for online offenders and undergo up to 40 days of rehabilitation.
He was subjected to an electronically-monitored curfew for three months from 7 PM to 7 AM, required to register as a sex offender for 10 years, and placed under a sexual harm prevention order for the same duration.
