Brora teen admits being in possession of indecent photos of young boys
A teenager from Brora has been remanded, pending reports, for possession of pictures of young boys at an address in Inverness.
Eighteen year-old Nathan Bradley previously confessed to police he was sexually attracted to young boys and he was receiving counselling.
Bradley of Clyne Manse, Golf Road, Brora appeared from custody at Inverness Sheriff Court today and admitted possession of indecent photographs of children at an address in Ardross Street, Inverness, on May 30 last year.
He also admitted breaching a bail condition at an address in View Place, Inverness, on December 14 by being in possession of a device that would give him access to the internet.
Sheriff Margaret Neilson heard police received information and obtained a search warrant on May 30, 2014, and went to Bradley’s address in Ardross Street.
Depute fiscal Roderick Urquhart said police took possession of various articles including two pen drives.
One contained 184 indecent images of young boys and an indecent video.
The second pen drive contained the same video.
“He was detained and interviewed and confessed the pen drives were his,” said the fiscal.
“He said he downloaded the material from the internet and he was sexually attracted to young boys no younger than 10 and he was receiving counselling.”
The fiscal told the court that on December 24 Bradley was on bail on condition that he doesn’t possess any device which would give him access to the internet.
He was visited by police at View Place and a play station computer was found hidden beneath a cushion on a couch.
The fiscal said Bradley told the police: “I’m 18. I’m bored.”
Sentence was deferred for criminal justice social work reports until April 17
