Two Million Indecent Images and Videos Shared by Sex Offenders

The NSPCC have found that over two million indecent images were shared between 100 offenders convicted within the last 20 months.

Research also confirmed that approximately one in four offenders held a position of trust within the community. Such roles included teachers, Police officers, medical professionals and social workers.

An estimated 10% of the convicted had been in possession of indecent imagery for five or more years before being caught. One third of offenders had distributed indecent material online and one in six had abused or groomed a child.
