A charity shop worker who is transitioning to become a woman has been jailed for two years for possessing thousands of 'abhorrent' child abuse images.

Samantha Norris, 56, of Ringwood, Hampshire, was previously cleared by a jury of exposing 'her penis' to two 11-year-old girls following a trial at Southampton Court in January.

But yesterday, Norris pleaded guilty to separate charges of possessing 16,000 images of children - including about 2,000 still and 121 moving images of category A seriousness - as well as an extreme porn image involving an animal.

The images included children aged as young as three, with others showing youngsters aged about six in 'distress and pain', the court heard.

Passing sentence, Judge Rowland stated Norris had written notes of sexual fantasies about a young child, as well as a 'New Year's resolution to have sex with a girl under 10'.
