SEARCH TERMS Phillip Greenwood
A PERVERT who downloaded sickening internet child porn films and images has been jailed for a year.
Phillip Greenwood, 60, had at least 75 indecent videos of children, five of them at the most serious level, Burnley Crown Court heard.
As police started to seize computer equipment at his home, he handed them a USB stick and told them: “I won’t waste your time. I will give you this. There’s things on there that I shouldn’t have been looking at.”
Greenwood had been looking up ways of destroying the evidence on his computer, the court heard.
Greenwood, of Mizpah Street, Burnley, had admitted 21 offences of making an indecent image of a child and had been committed for sentence by Pennine magistrates.
He was ordered to sign the sex offenders’ register for 10 years, was banned from working with children for life and was given a sexual offences prevention order, restricting his internet use.
Stephen Parker, prosecuting, said police went to Greenwood’s then home on Pine Street, Burnley, with a warrant from magistrates in January.
He was present, along with his partner and her son. The officers explained why they were there. Greenwood handed them a USB stick.
As police began to look at a computer tower unit, he said: “There may be something on there, too.”
Mr Parker said officers recovered more than 20 exhibits relating to laptops, hard drives, videos and discs. He added it was also apparent various search terms had been looked at, such as Russian schoolgirls.
There was also a reference to evidence eliminator, showing he had been looking at ways of destroying the evidence on his computer.
Mr Parker said Greenwood had five videos at level five, 45 video clips at level four, seven video clips at level three, eight clips at level two and 10 video clips at level one, as well as still images.
Judge Beverley Lunt told the court the most serious videos showed children in distress. She said: “They are dreadful.”

Think on this one I view the judge as lowly as I do the perverted scum in question.

It would clearly have been in the public interest to cage this monster for a reasonable length, 12 months certainly is not.
As seen as it is the taxpayers money that keeps these vile subhuman creatures in prison would it not be an idea to give the taxpayer the opportunity to have an input in sentencing?

y to be let down once more by the softly softly sympathetic sentences handed out. He'd have got 5 years if it was a fraud case. The law is a total ****!!
