Truro man Stephen Rodgers downloaded more than 1,500 indecent images of children
A 53-YEAR-OLD Truro man has admitted downloading more than 1,500 indecent images of children to his computer over a three-year period.
At Truro Crown Court on Thursday, Stephen Rogers, 53, of Chellew Road, pleaded guilty to seven counts of making indecent images and two of possessing extreme pornographic images involving animals.
Harris downloaded them between September 15, 2010 and May 16, last year.
The indecent images of children were at levels one to four on the scale police use to categorise such material with five being the highest.
Judge Christopher Harvey Clark, QC, ordered a pre-sentence report into Harris’s background to be prepared by the probation service.
He told Harris to be open and honest with the probation officers about the offences and how he came to commit them.
Judge Harvey Clark said: “These offence are regarded as serious offences, not least those involving level four images and the [extreme images].
“I am not going to give any indication of what sentence will be.”
