Lydney man admits to possessing more than 750 indecent images of children
A 25-year-old man has admitted six charges of possessing indecent images of children.
Daniel Farr, of Lancaster Drive, Lydney North, admitted possessing more than 750 images on June 25 last year.
Peter Ashby, prosecuting, said police called at Farr’s home as the result of an internet investigation, and executed a search warrant.
“He admitted to the police that he had indecent images of children.
“He had an external device with 82, category C images on it, a lap top with 206 category C images and two category b images on it.
“A memory stick had 472 category c images on it.
“The defendant doesn’t come into contact with his job.
“He told police his interest in indecent images of children started off as curiosity.
“Police say he accepted he had a sexual interest in girls, aged 13.
“He said he viewed a large quantity of images over three to four years but regularly, deleted images.”
Farr was released on bail to return to court on September 2, for sentence, pending the production of a pre-sentence report.
