A former airman has avoided prison after admitting possessing indecent images of children and extreme pornography.

Robert Denmark, 34, of Bungay in Suffolk, who used to be based at RAF Brize Norton, admitted three counts of making indecent images of children and one count of possessing extreme pornography between July 30, 2010, and May 28 last year.

Judge Zoe Smith said Denmark had 25 indecent images and sentenced him to a community order for 36 months, with 36 months of supervision, a sexual offences prevention order for four years and a requirement to take part in the Thames Valley Sex Offenders’ Treatment Programme. He was sentenced yesterday at Oxford Crown Court.
