David Monkhouse, a paedophile, apprehended with abhorrent obscene photographs of minors, falsely asserted that he had been framed due to his pro-Brexit stance.
The court heard that David Monkhouse had obtained highly explicit movies and images of youngsters as young as eight.
To evade justice, he claimed to the authorities that others must have placed the illicit content on his computer due to his political beliefs.
Now, the “isolated” 38-year-old has pleaded guilty to three offences of making indecent images and has been given a suspended prison sentence.
But David Monkhouse, of Fenham, only admitted his guilt and dropped his pretence of being framed after using public money for an expert to investigate his false claims.
