A COMPANY director who blew £20,000 on child porn, amassing 8,000 depraved images, has been spared jail.

Police raided Neil Braveheart’s Black Country home following a tip-off and found a sickening “library” of indecent images of children as well as 1,500 movies of youngsters being abused.

The pervert boss previously pleaded guilty to 20 charges of possessing indecent photographs of children and making and taking indecent pictures.

But Braveheart, who changed his name from Jagwinder Singh, escaped prison when he appeared at Wolverhampton Crown Court for sentencing on Tuesday.

Instead, he was given a three-year community supervision order and was also ordered to carry out a community sex offenders’ programme. Braveheart will have to sign the sex offenders’ register for five years and was also made subject of a sex offenders’ prevention order for ten years.

The court heard how the company boss, 48, had been arrested at his home in Dudley Port, Tipton, after US cops contacted West Midlands Police after discovering he had been subscribing to child porn sites. Officers found the huge database of sickening images and movies on his computer.

All were of children and were classed as the most serious level.

Analysis of his computer showed the pervert had been downloading and cataloguing the horrific pictures and films regularly between 2004 and 2007.

During questioning, Braveheart admitted making the obscene child porn “library”, revealing he had blown an incredible £20,000 on subscribing to various US-based sites and buying their illegal material.

Braveheart has been involved in a number of companies. He was sole director of Wisewallet Life Ltd but later resigned from the board. Company records state its nature of business as “miscellaneous financial services” and his occupation as data processing.

The 48-year-old had been physically sick in the dock as the charges were read out to him at an earlier hearing. He is now living in Wembley, north London.
