Tuesday 21st May, 52 year old David Armstrong was sentenced in Laganside Crown Court for multiple counts of making and possessing indecent/pseudo photographs of children.
He was sentenced to 16 months imprisonment, to serve half on licence. He was also placed on the sex offender’s register indefinitely, given a sexual offences prevention order for 13 years and disqualified from ever working with children.
Detective Inspector Richard Vasey from the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s Child Internet Protection Team said: “We will never stop searching online for child predators. My team work around the clock to identify and bring people before the courts who think their offending can go undetected.
“We arrested Armstrong and searched his property, recovering his devices. Upon examination 671 illegal files were found across all categories.
“It remains our priority to protect and keep children safe and we will continue to proactively target those who contribute to the cycle of child abuse. I would encourage anyone with concerns or information to get in contact us on 101 or 999 in an emergency. We will act on the information we receive.”
