A FORMER vicar from the Chelmsford Diocese has avoided jail after he admitted a series of child sex image offences.

Peter Low, 64, of Crescent Road, Heybridge, pleaded guilty in March to three counts of possessing indecent images of children and one count of possessing a prohibited image of a child.

He was sentenced on Tuesday, May 2, to a three-year community order.

The images were discovered when police responded to a report of a burglary at Low’s address.

Chelmsford Crown Court ordered him on Tuesday to complete 150 hours of community service, a sex offender treatment programme and rehabilitation activities.
