Paedophile Escapes Prison Sentence

Michael Fraser, 50 was arrested by police in May after his mobile phone, containing a series of disgusting images was found on the number 100 bus between the Metro Centre and Newcastle city centre.

The phone was traced to Fraser after records showed he topped it up at Tesco in Jesmond.

After searching his home, police found a further 14 mobile phones, all filled with indecent images.

Fraser, now living in Seaham, Co. Durham admitted 9 counts of possession of indecent images of children and 5 of making indecent images of children.

The judge sentenced him to a three year community order for his horrific crimes, he was not sent to jail as he is 'eligible for sex offenders treatment'.

There should be no place in society for this man, and protecting the public should be the main priority within the justice system.
