A man has been jailed for making, distributing and possessing more than 100 indecent images of children including extreme pornography.

Sebastian Ross-Sturman, 39, was sentenced to two years and six months in prison after pleading guilty to six charges at Warwick Crown Court.

The defendant, of Rangemoor, Coventry, was also given a lifetime sexual harm prevention order.

Ross-Sturman uploaded the most severe category of indecent images to the internet in 2021, West Midlands Police said.

He was arrested in 2022 after an investigation by the force.

The 39-year-old pleaded guilty to making indecent category A, B and C, external photographs of a child and two counts of distributing indecent pseudo-photographs of a child.

He also admitted possessing an extreme pornographic image and was jailed on 20 November, the court said.
