Third child porn crime.

A PAEDOPHILE pensioner has been banned from using the internet and computers after racking up his third child pornography conviction.

Brian Barry was branded a 'deviant' by a judge but was allowed to keep his liberty.

A court heard the 66-year-old was in contact with a paedophile ring and had even travelled from the North East to West Sussex to visit one of his fellow perverts.

Now he has been banned from going online and forbidden from contacting other members of the sordid gang.

Judge John Evans, sitting at Newcastle Crown Court, said: "It is clear that the attempts to correct what is undoubtedly deviant thinking about young boys has not been altered or corrected."

The court heard that the images were found on two laptops belonging Barry at his home in Sunderland.

He was charged in April this year after 15 images were found.

Barry has two previous convictions for possessing and making indecent images in 2004 and 2005.

The pensioner, of Edgmond Court, Sunderland pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children.

He was given a threeyear community order as well as an indefinite sexual offences prevention order.

He must also sign the sex offenders' register for seven years and was already disqualified from working with children under the terms of a previous order.
