A paedophile who downloaded over 50,000 indecent images of children as young as five said he acted in a 'moment of madness' - despite collecting the images over a decade.
Simon Dean, 59, admitted to hoarding the sick collection after National Crime Agency (NCA) officers raided his Warrington home in the early hours of January 14 last year.
