abuse image teacher spared jail sentence

A primary school teacher who downloaded thousands of images of child sex abuse avoided a jail term after a court heard he had been abused himself.

Matthew Scott Catherall, 39 was ordered to complete a three-year internet sexual offending treatment programme by Manchester Crown Court.

Judge Jonathan Geake said Catherall's reason for downloading the images were "very complex and highly unusual".

The teacher had admitted 18 specimen charges of possessing the images.

Minshull Street Crown Court, Manchester, heard Catherall, described as an "inspirational and well-liked" teacher at Greswell Primary in Denton, Tameside.
