A 63-year-old man with a 'clear interest in underage girls' posed as a teenage boy online and talked to a decoy account of a 12-year-old girl before later being found with more than 4,000 indecent images of children.
Denis Atkinson, of Millbeck Road, Middleton, was sentenced to eight years behind bars on May 3 at Minshull Street Crown Court and was placed on the sex offenders register for life and subject to a sexual harm prevention order.
