He pleaded guilty at Hull Crown Court to 15 charges of making and distributing indecent images.
Judge Mark Bury jailed Shipley for three years.

"You have been looking at and sharing images with others for a significant period."
Shipley has been ordered to sign the sex offenders register for life.
PC Chris Kipling, of Humberside Police's Internet Sex Offenders' Investigation unit, said: "Shipley was using an internet-based file sharing network to trade indecent images of children and discuss the abuse of children with other like-minded individuals.
"This is Shipley's second conviction for image- related offences after being convicted in 2005 for the possession of indecent images of children.
"We are committed to finding and bringing to justice those who are sexually exploiting children in whatever form using the internet."

“ok this guy possessed over 80,000 indecent images of children yet was sentenced to only 3 years. that works out at about 15 mins imprisonment per image. Im so pleased we are sending out positive messages to zero tolerance to these vile predators.”

“@SantiagoSam
That explains why the National Mail is so fond of reporting the doings of Hull's lovable rogues.
I would have thught that the story of the 15yo lad who had won the shoolboy version of the National Lottery, would have been up there with the Troll bait that the HDM hacks love to throw in here. They could then do the usual withdrawal of the comment feature when things got a tad lively. (As any responsible newspaper would!)
As for Postman Pat, not the sharpest tool in the box was he? Up to his old tricks when Plod would have been keeping an eye on him for sure. I would like to say that he will be given a hard time in prison, but as he will no doubt be segragated with a bunch of other like minded folk, I just can't see it.”

“Bewildered - Thanks for expounding your Discovery Channel boxed set knowledge, The point of the post was about our collective lack of will to protect children from those that seek to harm them. Not a comparison with other species that kill their own for survivalist purposes or the dominance of a particular gene pool. Where Walt Disney fits into this I am at a loss to fathom.”

“Strangely,
I think that you are giving HDM editing staff,s intelligence too much credit.
HDM owned by the same company who have the national Daily Mail.”

“@SandiagoSam
Could be the HDM is worried that the 15yo victim might be named, in this case it is very unlikely. However, the big Mail had no such qualms & allowed comments.
I do find it strange that a national rag, posts so many Hull related stories, do they own shares in th HDM?”

“by Hosni- "Are we the only species on the planet that tolerates predators to continue to threaten our offspring."
No we are not, insects, felines, aquatic life forms and primates and many others all damage and kill members of their own species. Sexual behaviour of animals is not as directed by Walt Disney either. That in no way excuses what this MAN has done.”

“I would inject, pull the trigger or work the leaver for the noose just to rid society of scum like this. They cannot be cured and they see nothing wrong in what they do.”

“Are we the only species on the planet that tolerates predators to continue to threaten our offspring. This animals record is clear evidence that he will always be a threat to children and a reason for those who produce this filth to continue their perverse trade. Any other species would collectively turn on this threat and irrespective of any risk tear it to pieces. Our lofty morality that sets us apart from all other animals should not be maintained at the expense of our children.”
