Charlton Sutton-Hope – Birmingham

A pervert must immediately register a sex offender after he was found with a disturbing haul of indecent images of young kids and images of bestiality

Charlton Sutton-Hope had 127 indecent photos of children as young as four-years-old, and 173 more portraying intercourse with an animal, on his devices during a police search last July.

The 22-year-old, of Lytham Croft, Birmingham, is one of the younger offenders to be added to the database after admitting possession and distribution of the photos – including category A, the most severe type of child sex abuse material.

Appearing at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court this week, Sutton-Hope pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent images of a child, possession of an extreme pornographic image, possession of a prohibited image of a child and three counts of distributing indecent images of a child.

He was told he now faces prison, with a starting point of three years as his sentence was moved up to Birmingham Crown Court.

He was placed under bail conditions – including a ban on living or working with under 18s.
