Pervert Telford teacher who filmed boys getting changed found with child abuse stash
A paedophile former teacher who was jailed for filming children at his school has now been caught with a stash of more than 1,100 indecent images of kids.
Timothy Moule, who was jailed in 2018 for secretly filming boys getting changed for PE and downloading images of children as young as two being sexually abused, was back in court after being found to have a fresh collection of vile images accumulated over four years.
The 53-year-old of Calder Close, Muxton, Telford, who was a senior teacher at schools in Telford and Wolverhampton and a safeguarding lead, was jailed for 52 months in 2018 for voyeurism and making indecent images of children.
As part of that sentence, he was made subject of a sexual harm prevention order to try and prevent him from carrying out sex offences. Officers would check his electronic devices to make sure he is not searching for or collecting indecent material.
However, Moule did not learn his lesson, and it was discovered he accumulated more child sex abuse pictures between June 2020 and September this year.
Police officers seized two tablet devices and four laptops, and discovered Moule had a fresh stash of images which included 142 category A - depicting the most serious and depraved examples of child sex abuse.
He also had 149 category B pictures, 789 category C and 21 of an unspecified category.
Moule pleaded guilty at Kidderminster Magistrates Court to four counts of making indecent images of children and one of breaching a sexual harm prevention order.
Magistrates committed the case to Shrewsbury Crown Court for sentence on November 1 and granted Moule bail.
In the meantime, he must sign onto the sex offender's register at his local police station and live and sleep at his bail address.
A pre-sentence report has been ordered.
