Jail for Mansfield pervert who downloaded child porn onto his mum's tablet
A convicted Mansfield paedophile who downloaded indecent images of children as young as 12-weeks-old onto his mother's tablet also shared them online with like-minded perverts.
Police arrested Adam Wrobleski after tracing his IP address from online activity between June 17 and 24 last year, said Serena Varatharajah, prosecuting.
When he was cautioned he admitted a "relapse" and told officers he downloaded a messenger service onto his mother's tablet.
He said he viewed illegal material before deleting the app, reinstalling it, and deleting it again.
Analysis revealed he downloaded 67 category A pictures and videos of children, aged between three months to 13 years, 53 category B images featuring youngsters aged between 12 weeks and 12 years, and nine category C images, with children aged between four months and 14 years.
They also found chats on the encrypted messenger service TeleGuard, in which Wrobleski, masquerading as a 25-year-old lesbian, engaged in sexual chats about children, and exchanged category A videos featuring the rape and injury of an infant, with other perverts.
He denied any sexual gratification and said drugs and alcohol were the trigger.
Nottingham Crown Court heard he was also convicted of possessing and distributing indecent images of children in February 2021.
He received 20 months in prison and was made the subject of a ten-year sexual harm prevention order (SHPO) banning him from accessing the internet without notifying police.
Benn Robinson, mitigating, described Wrobleski as “tormented” because he hasn't had any contact with his son for four years.
He said he deserves credit for his early guilty pleas and engaged well with the probation service after his release from his last prison sentence.
"These offences have really brought things to a head," he said. "He has sought voluntary assistance for his mental health."
Wrobleski, 37, of Langley Close, admitted possessing and distributing indecent images of children, possessing prohibited images of children, and breaching a SHPO, at Mansfield Magistrates Court, on January 7.
On Wednesday, Judge Steven Coupland, who sentenced him in five years ago, told him: "This is not a victimless crime, those pictures and videos are of children being abused in real life and anyone who watches and shares them perpetuates that kind of abuse."
Wrobleski was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison, and a fresh SHPO was imposed.
