[2012] EWCA Crim 2049

A sentence of 18 months' imprisonment following guilty pleas to six counts of taking indecent photographs of a child contrary to the Protection of Children Act 1978 s.1 was not manifestly excessive. However, a deprivation order pursuant to the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 s.143 for forfeiture of his computer went too far and was quashed.
