A spokesman for the force said: “Looking at indecent images of children is a crime. Anyone who is caught looking at indecent images of someone under the age of 18 years-old will be placed on the sex offenders register.

“As well as sentences handed down in court this can result in the following consequences for the offender.

“Social care referrals for any children they have access to. Potential breakdowns in relationships with wife/husband/partner and abandonment of friendships. Disclosure to work, clubs and organisations they are involved in and potential loss of employment.

“Social stigma, social isolation and mental illness

“If you are concerned about your own behaviour or that of someone you know, there is help and support available from a number of charities and not for profit organisations, including the Lucy Faithfull Foundation and NSPCC.
