Marshall also admitted to having downloading images from the internet between June 2004 and April 2018 in February.

Ordering a sentence of nine months to Marshall, Preston Crown Court Judge Simon Newell said the images were 'vast in number'. The Judge said, as quoted by the BBC, "It appears to me the period of time and the volume of images can only be met by an immediate custodial sentence."

Apart from the nine-month sentence for category A images, Marshall will be serving six months for the category B images and four months for the category C images. The court ordered all the sentences to run concurrently. Among other punishment, the court also gave a 10-year notification order to sign the sex offenders register and a six-year sexual harm prevention order.
