A dangerous Carlisle man has been jailed for making indecent images of a child and possessing extreme porn.
Richard Lawrie, 50, of Tribune Drive, Houghton, Carlisle, has been jailed for two years for 10 offences, at Carlisle Crown Court today, Wednesday September 10.
His offences include making indecent photographs of a child, possessing extreme pornographic images and failing to comply with notification requirements of the sex offenders register. Lawrie was arrested in June 2025.
PC Andrew Minnion, of Cumbria’s Management of Sexual and Violent Offenders team, said: “Lawrie is a dangerous offender who had 350 category A images on his devices and had shared images to others.
“Every indecent image of child means that somewhere a child has been a victim of abuse.
“There is no excuse for accessing or sharing these types of images and we will continue to work hard to bring those that do so to justice in order to protect children.
“Cumbria’s MOSOVO team are committed to managing sexual offenders and will take a zero-tolerance approach against anyone found to breaching the terms of their requirements.”
