## Summary

Former soldier Adam David Bonner, 19, has been jailed for three years and four months after admitting 11 child sexual offences. The case matters because police said his offending involved attempts to engage children in sexual activity and a large collection of abusive images discovered across several locations where he had been stationed.

North Yorkshire Police began investigating in March 2025 after tracing suspected image downloads to Bonner’s former barracks in Devon; he was arrested at Catterick Garrison on 16 April. The offences included making and distributing indecent images in categories A, B and C, and sexual communication with a child. He must register as a sex offender, is barred from working with children and vulnerable adults, and received a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
