Undertaker jailed for sharing indecent images

A 42-year-old man has been sentenced for sharing indecent images of children, extreme pornographic images and images taken at a funeral home in Blackpool where he worked.

Nigel Robinson-Wright was arrested at his home in Blackpool in November last year after being linked in an investigation by police in London into a man suspected of sexually abusing a child. He had been communicating with that man via encrypted chat apps.

Lancashire police seized his electronic devices and found indecent images of children and extreme pornographic images which he had shared with others. He had also been in communication with others via social media apps and had been organising and facilitating the commission of sexual offences against a young child, dogs and dead bodies.

Nigel Robinson-Wright was sentenced today at Preston Crown Court to 25 years in prison including an 8-year extended sentence.

Sophie Rozdolskyj for the CPS said: “This is truly a shocking case. Nigel Robinson-Wright’s conversation with others described, depicted and encouraged the most depraved of sexual acts.

“In a gross breach of trust, as an undertaker he betrayed all those who had entrusted him with taking care of the loved ones they had lost. I cannot begin to imagine the affect this has had upon them.

“The CPS will always seek to bring to justice those who fuel any form of sexual exploitation.”
