A pervert jailed for having child porn pictures on his PC has joined his sex beast brother behind bars.

Matthew Booton, 27, was arrested in Dover three months after police seized his computer during a raid on his family home.

A month before the raid – in September last year – Matthew’s younger brother Nicky, a registered sex offender, was also arrested.

The 22-year-old was later jailed for 18 months after admitting possessing and making indecent images of children.

Then in January officers caught up with Matthew after uncovering hundreds more indecent images on his computer.

Yesterday, Matthew was sentenced to eight months imprisonment in jail and ordered to sign the sex offenders register.

He admitted six charges of possession of indecent images of children and one charge of making indecent images of children.

The images included five categorised as the most serious level five, meaning they depicted sadism or bestiality with children.

In total police found 677 indecent images and one movie clip.

DC Mikaela Stevens, from Kent Police's Public Protection Crime Unit, said: "Kent Police remains determined to seek out those individuals who abuse children and are engaged in child abuse image offences.

"We are committed to identifying offenders and bringing them before the courts.'

Anyone who has information on this type of crime can ring Kent Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or visitstopitnow.org.
