A man has been handed a suspended prison sentence after he admitted downloading indecent images of children.
Giacomo Carmello, 20, will also be on the sex offenders register for 10 years, and is subject to a five-year sexual harm prevention order.
Carmello, of Elmdene in Surbiton, admitted three counts of making indecent images between 2013 and 2015, and one count of possessing prohibited images between 2011 and 2015.
The downloading or viewing of indecent images from the internet is often described as 'making' the image.
He was jailed for 10 months, suspended for two years, at Kingston Crown Court today.
He must attend rehabilitation for 20 days, and complete 100 days on a sex offenders’ programme.
He will also pay £600 in court fees.
