Paedophile jailed in Britain

A PAEDOPHILE described by police as Britain’s most prolific hoarder of pictures of child abuse was given an indeterminate prison sentence.

Daniel Taylor, 31, possessed more than 300,000 indecent images, including a large number considered the most extreme, Bradford Crown Court heard.

Taylor had 47 devices including hard drives, phones, memory sticks and a laptop to store the pictures.

Judge Rodney Grant said Taylor must serve a minimum of three years, minus time spent in custody, before he can be considered for release.

He said a report described him as “opportunistic and predatory”, and he posed a danger to children in the future.

Father-of-two Taylor, of Heights Drive, Farnley, Leeds, pleaded guilty to 27 charges, including making and possessing indecent images and sexually assaulting a baby.

He also asked for three other charges to be taken into consideration.
