A Pwllheli man who downloaded and distributed images of child abuse has been jailed.

A court heard how Gary Hill, 40, pictured, asked people on the internet if they had daughters, whether they abused them, and if he could watch.

A court heard how Hill downloaded and distributed indecent images of children, some very young, being raped and sexually abused.

Hill, 40, of Pwllheli, cried in the dock at Mold Crown Court on Thursday, 2 January, when he was jailed for two years and four months.

He was ordered to register with the police as a sex offender for life, and a 10-year sexual harm prevention order was imposed.

Judge Huw Rees told Hill, who had no previous convictions, that he had an unhealthy sexual interest in children, and emphasised that the images showed real victims being abused.

Hill admitted four charges of distribution of images, making images, and possessing an extreme image depicting a sex act between a woman and a horse.

Police executed a search warrant at his then home in Rhoshirwaun in July last year and he immediately admitted that he was responsible and volunteered another device from a garage.
