West Yorkshire Police is for the first time publicly reaching out to people who look at indecent images of children online and warning them they will be caught if they don’t take action now to stop their illegal activities.
The new campaign is the first of its kind in West Yorkshire specifically targeting adults involved in the viewing of indecent images of under 18-year-olds online.
West Yorkshire Police is encouraging anyone with concerns about their online habits to seek help now by accessing available support from a number of charities and not for profit organisations, including the Lucy Faithfull Foundation and the NSPCC.
During 2017, West Yorkshire Police arrested 149 adults on suspicion of possession of indecent images of children. Those arrested included four company directors, two solicitors and four people working in the computer industry.
