Kevin Johnson, 63, of Lowestoft, received a two-year-and-eight-month prison sentence suspended for two years after pleading guilty to six offences involving the making and distribution of more than 2,000 indecent images and videos of children. He must complete a rehabilitation order, remain on the sex offenders register for life and comply with a 15-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order. The investigation by Suffolk Constabulary’s Internet Child Abuse Investigation Team began after intelligence about his online communications; devices seized from his home contained large quantities of Category A, B and C material.
