Facebook user jailed after uploading indecent image of child

Duy Chong Khuu (52) was interviewed by police, who seized his phone.

They found two images of category A — the most severe level — and two category C images on the device.

Khuu, of Wellgate, was charged with distributing an indecent image of a child.

He admitted the offence and was sentenced to 22 months in prison at Sheffield Crown Court on August 11. He was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register for ten years.

Investigation officer Julie Towers said: “This is a fantastic result and Khuu is now behind bars because of sharing a harrowing video of a child and keeping indecent images on his phone.

“This result shows how committed South Yorkshire Police is as a force to stopping the possession and distribution of indecent images. The work we do also protects children from sexual abuse and those who seek to do them harm.

“We work closely with our partner agencies and would like to thank them for their assistance throughout this investigation, and if you have experienced any form of sexual abuse, or know of a child being abused, please come forward and report this, we are here and ready to help.”

South Yorkshire Police was unable to provide a custody photograph of Khuu.
