Man who made 'depraved' child images with AI jailed

Nelson pleaded guilty to various counts of making, possessing and distributing indecent images of children and three counts of encouraging the rape of a child under the age of 13. He also admitted to a count of attempting to cause a child under 16 to engage in sexual activity and one of publishing an obscene article. Nelson, of Briggsfold Road, was sentenced to 18 years in jail, including six years on licence, and was placed on the sex offenders register. Nelson's parents sat in the court's public gallery as he appeared via video link from HMP Forest Bank. His mother wept into the crook of her arm as her son was jailed.
