A church helper had more than 3,000 vile images of children being sexually abused on computers at his Sandal home, a court heard.
The discovery was made after computer equipment was seized from Nigel Holleran’s home on Walton Lane, Sandal, in May last year.
Leeds Crown Court was told Holleran contacted police officers and told them he “wanted to get things off his chest”.
He then admitted that he had been viewing abusive images of children for around five years.
Holleran, 57, later told a probation officer that he believed the children in the images, some as young as nine, had consented to the abuse they were being subjected to and had been paid for appearing in the images.
