His Dark Materials’ Actor Daniel Frogson Sentenced for Child Pornography

Daniel Frogson, a Bafta nominee best known for his appearance in the drama series “His Dark Materials,” is found guilty of viewing images and videos of child pornography.

According to the report from NME, he will face severe legal actions for accessing and downloading disturbing explicit images and videos of underage children.

The case was being handled by Nottingham Crown Court and as per the testimony, Daniel Frogson had around 850 explicit images of underage kids as young as three on his laptop and mobile phone, reported by Nottingham Live.

Additionally, the police discovered 165 images from Category A, the most severe category given to indecent images of child pornography. Mostly such images show adults sexually abusing kids. 

Daniel Frogson faces legal consequences over child pornography

According to a statement in NME, the young actor watching such disturbing images of child abuse is not something he is new to. He has been viewing such explicit images since he was 17.

Judge Steven Coupland, who is handling his case, gave him a suspension of 24 months and an 8-month jail sentence.

Judge Steven stated during the hearing-

“The images I have seen are sickening. Each of them is a real child being abused for the pleasure of someone like you watching. It is made worse because of the number of them – there were 848 indecent images – and it is made worse by the length of time you were doing it. You told the probation officer you do not have a sexual interest in children. I don’t accept that.”

Moreover, Daniel Frogson will also attend a 43-day sex offender rehabilitation program and complete 15 rehabilitation sessions.

Frogson claimed in court that he had no interest in child pornography, but given the evidence presented, the judge dismissed his claims.
