An investigation was launched by Northamptonshire Police in November 2018 after intelligence was received that the 67-year-old had uploaded an indecent image of a child. The image was category A – the most serious.

A warrant was then executed at House’s home address on August 21, 2019.

A number of his devices were seized and upon examination, detectives found a number of concerning items including extreme pornography and evidence of House discussing the facilitation of child sex offences.

He was arrested and subsequently charged.

House, of Hawfinch Green, appeared at Northampton Crown Court where he pleaded guilty to all five charges, returning to the same court last month (August 27) where he was handed the jail sentence and made subject of a sexual harm prevention order.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Abigail Jones, said: “This was a very lengthy and complex investigation which involved the detailed forensic examination of a number of House’s electronic devices, and I’d like to thank our digital media investigators for their hard work on this case.

“I am pleased to see House sent to prison and I hope it sends a message to other people who may be accessing indecent images of children.

“You may think you have taken steps to cover your tracks but our teams are full of tenacious, talented individuals determined to uncover your offending, and we will put you behind bars.”
