Here's some info to save clicking:
Police found 400 videos in Category A, which is the most extreme, with another 255 films in Category B and 186 films and 851 images in Category C.
There were 1,692 movies and images ranging from Category A to C as well as the 4,336 videos and 137,000 images that remained uncategorised.

Sentence:
Sentencing Arrowsmith to 10 months in prison, suspended for two years, Recorder Martin Butterworth, said: “You are 41 years old, with no previous convictions and you pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity.
“There are three charges against you in relation to the possession of indecent images of children.
“I am taking into consideration your previous good character, you have a wife who supports you, a steady employment and your hopes to start a family in the near future.
“These are not victimless crimes, they encourage serious abuse of sometimes very young children.
“You were less than honest about the nature of the images.”
Digby Johnson, defending, told the court Arrowsmith and his wife, who was not present in court, were trying for children and wanted to start a family.
Arrowsmith, of Church Gresley, Derbyshire, was ordered to pay £250 costs and carry out 160 hours of unpaid work as well as being made the subject of a curfew restricting him from leaving his house between 7pm and 5am.
He is also banned from working with children and was ordered to sign the sexual offenders register.

Banned from working wowoith children but can quite happily have his own...

Im baffled, truly, truly baffled.

Your childrens schoolfriends will know, and they will tell them. How will you deal with that? How will you deal with children being banned from playing with your kids, or visiting your home?

Well you cannot stop them procreating, but you can closely monitor his whereabouts, and take any children he does have off him.

If paedophiles could legally have their balls cut off sans anaesthetic and aftercare I would sob with joy. Yes, even the poor babies who were "in a dark place, whawhawha."

Yes I know there are good reasons society can't go down that road, but goddamn I yearn for it my gut.

Peadolphilia is a mental illness which cannot be cured, I actually think they should me locked up in specialist MH hospitals, where they cannot harm others. So yes I agree with OP that they shouldn't have children but how do you enforce it?
