A volunteer creche worker used a borrowed laptop computer to download hundreds of pornographic images of children.
Father-of-one Matthew Hobday, of Golf Drive, Brighton, was yesterday sentenced to a three-year community rehabilitation order and told to sign on the sex offenders register at Lewes Crown Court.
He had pleaded guilty to 16 charges of making indecent photographs of children.
The 40-year-old, a well-known community activist in the Hollingbury area of the city, was also banned from ever working with youngsters again.
