Pensioner admits downloading child abuse images
A MARAZION pensioner has admitted downloading more than 2,000 indecent images of children as young as two to his computer.
At Truro Crown Court on Friday, Terence Walding, 66, of Market Place, admitted 13 counts of downloading and possessing the indecent material.
The court heard the charges related to images ranked at all levels on the scale police use to determine the seriousness of such material and depicted children aged between two and 12 years old.
Walding admitted nine counts of making indecent images, two of possessing extreme pornographic images and two of possessing prohibited images of children.
He was granted conditional bail and ordered to sign the sex offenders’ register.
He will appear before the court for sentence on June 20.
