Lewis Peters, a 31-year-old resident of Worthing, has been sentenced to four years in prison for possession of indecent images of children. Peters was arrested on June 3 at his home following an intelligence-led operation by Sussex Police’s Online Child Abuse Team (OCAT).
During the operation, Peters attempted to conceal a small memory card containing 250 category A indecent images and videos of children. Further investigation revealed his phone also contained 32 Category A images, 74 Category B images, and 12 Category C images. These findings put Peters in breach of a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) issued to him in April 2023.
