Peter Selby, a 68-year-old convicted pedophile, was discovered with over 125,000 photographs and films of child rape kept on various electronic devices, some of which depicted children as young as three years old.
Selby confessed his involvement to authorities immediately after they searched his home for the files, claiming that his addiction to adult pornography had “morphed” into full-fledged pedophilia, according to reports.
