Judge Simon Newell said: "The materials don't in themselves constitute an offence but are indicative of what has been admitted - a substantial, long standing, deeply embedded sexual interest in children
"It does appear you are not deterred by what may be seen as deterrent sentences.
"What that shows is that first of all this is long standing. It also indicates attempts by the courts whether by community sentences or suspended sentences or hospital treatment hasn't resolved the inclination you have, and the criminality that results in."
"These are not victimless crimes.
"Somewhere in the world possibly 2,000 children have been abused here so that those images can be put on the internet and so somebody has been sexually abusing those children - some babies and infants.
"That's an appalling thing to happen to any child and if it wasn't for the fact people like you were watching it, the bulk of this wouldn't happen."
