[2001] EWCA Crim 1854
A sentence of eight months' imprisonment was ordinarily appropriate where an offender had downloaded over 7,500 indecent images of children onto a computer, notwithstanding his previous good character, guilty plea, age and the fact that he was not distributing the material. In the circumstances of this particular case, a sentence of fifteen months' imprisonment was quashed and substituted with a term of six months.
