A Wiltshire woman has admitted downloading hundreds of child abuse images ‘to better harass a paedophile hunter’, a court heard.

Samantha Franklin stashed 556 indecent photographs of youngsters on her device – with 207 images categorised as the most serious.

Crown prosecutor Keith Ballinger asked for the case to be sent to the crown court due to the sheer number of images – stating that it is “outside this court’s power of sentence”.

Defence solicitor Jeremy Colenso said: “She doesn’t fit the stereotype… my first question is why? Well there’s a bit of a story to it.

“She had been carrying out research, she’s going to claim, so she could better harass the paedophile hunter.”
