A convicted pervert who downloaded child porn on his landlady’s computer has been given another suspended jail term.

Martin Fuller, 24, was already subject to a three-month suspended sentence when police found a total of 89 indecent images and movie clips on a computer at his Minster lodgings in August last year.

Maidstone Crown Court heard today Tuesday that Fuller’s landlady had allowed him to use her computer “unsupervised all hours of the night”.

However, she had already told him to leave her home after finding out about his criminal past when she discovered the child porn.

“She was extremely distressed and upset at what she had found,” said prosecutor Deepak Kapur.

Fuller, of no fixed address, admitted two offences of possessing indecent photographs of a child and three of making indecent photographs of a child between January and August last year.

The images were rated in seriousness by police as levels one, three and four.

Fuller was given 12 months jail suspended for two years, with a condition that he attends the Home Office-accredited Internet Sex Offender Treatment Programme.

The court heard Fuller, formerly of High Street, Milton Regis, received a previous suspended jail sentence in November 2009 after downloading child pornography.

He was also made subject to a Sexual Offences Prevention Order banning him from owning a mobile phone with a camera or Internet access.

But just days before the images were found on his landlady’s computer, Fuller appeared at Canterbury Crown Court for breaching the order.

A judge on that occasion imposed the three month suspended sentence and ordered that he complete a sex offender’s treatment programme.

Andrew Johnson, defending, told the court no course had ever commenced.

Urging that he be given another suspended sentence today, Mr Johnson said: “This defendant is not going to cease offending until he receives treatment.”

Following Fuller’s arrest in August he was also charged with breaching his SOPO by accessing a computer.

He admitted the offence and was ordered by Canterbury Crown Court to serve a total suspended sentence period of 15 months.

Mr Johnson told the court that period expired in early April and he has since been in HMP Elmley on remand.
