Overview
- Detectives discovered an open laptop displaying prohibited animated images of children during an unannounced spot‑check at Andrew Robinson’s Talybont‑on‑Usk home on June 9.
- Robinson, 77, was charged the next day and pleaded guilty at Merthyr Magistrates' Court to possession of a prohibited image and to breaching his Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which activated his suspended sentence.
- He was jailed for a total of 12 months and 12 weeks and ordered to pay a £187 fine.
- Robinson had previously pleaded guilty in April 2025 to possessing indecent images, received a suspended prison term, was placed on the sex offender register, and remained under active supervision by Dyfed‑Powys Police’s offender management unit.
- Detective Sergeant Paula Rutherford said viewing such images fuels demand for more harmful content and that the case shows offender monitoring and device inspections can lead to immediate custodial action when court orders are breached.
