Paedophile jailed for multiple child sex offences

Police uncovered indecent images of children on Scott Terry's devices

A man has been jailed for four years after admitting multiple child sex offences.

Scott Terry, 34, of Springfield Crescent in Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, was sentenced at Swindon Crown Court earlier and made subject to an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

Terry was arrested in February 2024 after being found to be in possession of indecent images of children.

He subsequently pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children - including categories A, B and C - two counts of sexual assault of a child, and two counts of taking indecent images of children.

'Abhorrent crime'

Det Con Jason Walsh, of Wiltshire Police's child internet exploitation team, said: "This is an abhorrent crime that will have a long-lasting effect on the victim.

"No one should have to go through what they have been through.

"Protecting the most vulnerable in our communities will always remain our highest priority and safeguarding those from people like Scott Terry.

"When you report these crimes, you will be listened to, you will be believed, and we will do all we can to hold these dangerous individuals accountable for their actions," he added.
