A Ramsgate man has been sentenced for possessing thousands of indecent images of children.
On April 23, 2018, a search warrant was carried out at a property previously occupied by David Bland in Ramsgate. During the search police officers found multiple devices including three computers and an external hard drive which were taken away for forensic analysis.
Specialist forensic software was used by police which provided evidence of nearly 4,500 illegal images and multiple internet searches relating to indecent images.
David Bland, 61, denied knowing anything about indecent images and told officers that no images of children would be found on his devices.
At court, however, he pleaded guilty to five counts of possessing indecent photographs of children, three counts of making indecent photographs of children, one count of possessing extreme pornographic images and one count of possessing prohibited images of a child
Today (December 10) he was sentenced at Canterbury Crown Court to two years’ imprisonment and will be subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for 10 years.
Detective Constable Graham Oliver from Kent Police’s Online Investigation Team said: “David Bland denied having any indecent images of children on the multiple devices that he owned. He tried to hide what he was searching for.
“He had showed strong intent and determination to access illegal images of children and make no mistake those images will have resulted from real children suffering appalling abuse. People like Bland have no understanding of the gravity of their actions, but through the hard work of our officers he has now been brought to justice.”
He will be popular in jail …..for thumping
People like this really need help, not just completing their time inside, then being released.
It is not ‘normal’ for the average man/woman to find pictures of young children sexually exciting. A young person’s body has not developed, therefore does not have all the right lumps, bumps, and shapes in the right places (trying to be careful with the words), so these people obviously have some form of psychological illness. They need help with this, even if it involves chemicals, not just doing the time.
Chemical castration does not work-it has been tried & doesn’t stop the offending.
No, they need castrating, surgically while conscious if possible
Interesting one & the only real data is from a long time ago like Nazi Germany, however testosterone therapy would reverse this & did indeed see people surgically castrated going to commit more sex crimes after testosterone therapy applied many years after the castration.
🥴 trying to stick up for pedophiles you house needs checking
Always an arsehole like you hiding around somewhere, who doesn’t even understand the basics of life.
Never mind, you better get back to playing with your chavs.
You don’t even know me you fucking moron you little pedophile supporter you’re just as bad as them
Haven’t seen anybody sticking up for it/them, just the logical concept of you have a problem-these people will at some point be back in society, so unless you try to help them with things like behavioural therapy etc then the problem is going to start again when they hit the street.

he was my next door neighbour
What about surgical castration
?
Possibly-decades old evidence shows removal of the testes like in animals reduces/gets rid of the drive. However it has also shown that testosterone therapy revives it. However it is highly unlikely we will ever live in a society where that is going to happen due to ethics & human rights.
My mum always said “stick em in cage an let the women get at em”
Me personally think they should bring back corporal punishment end of
