The 19-year-old self-styled internet and online marketing guru had previously admitted three charges under the Computer Misuse Act and two of possessing prohibited images.

A psychiatric report found Floate had "a strong sense of wanting to be famous and receive kudos for (his) achievements".

Other sites affected included the on-going Hillsborough Independent Inquiry Panel's.

Floate, of Starbold Crescent, Knowle, also admitted having 111 prohibited cartoon-type images found on his laptop, showing what Mr Barry said was mainly "mature women engaging in sex acts with young boys".

"There's some suggestion of those storyboards relating to mothers having sex with their sons," he added.
