A BAFTA-nominated actor from Nottingham downloaded and viewed almost 850 sick abuse photographs of children as young as three years old. Nottingham Crown Court heard how police found 165 of the most serious category A indecent images, which typically show adults raping children, when they examined devices belonging to Daniel Frogson.
Handing him an eight-month jail sentence, suspended for 24 months, Judge Steven Coupland said: “ The images I have seen are sickening. Each of them is a real child being abused for the pleasure of someone like you watching.“It is made worse because of the number of them - there were 848 indecent images - and it is made worse by the length of time you were doing it. You told the probation officer you do not have a sexual interest in children. I don’t accept that.
In it Frogson, of Eastwood, played Joe, a 13-year-old boy left behind by his mother and her boyfriend when they go away for a week. The defendant, who also had a role in the 2023 film The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, was living in Nuthall when an IP address there was suspected of downloading child abuse images in early 2023.
“He was interviewed twice in 2023 and on both occasions answered ‘no comment’ to the question he was asked.” Frogson, now of Malthouse Close, pleaded guilty to possession of the indecent images and has no previous convictions of any kind.
