A BOURNEMOUTH man has pleaded guilty to making indecent photographs of children and possessing extreme pornography.
James Robert Chadwick, 36, of Hamilton Road, Bournemouth, appeared in Bournemouth Crown Court on Monday facing 18 counts, involving more than 100 images of children, including some videos.
He was also charged with possession of extreme pornography, including 64 images containing threats to a person’s life. Most of the charges relate to a period between February and May last year.
Mr Chadwick had been due to stand trial, but was arraigned again and pleaded guilty to all counts before the court on Monday.
Defending David Richards said Chadwick had been diagnosed with high-functioning Asperger’s since the trail began, and asked the court to allow time for a psychological report to be prepared to help determine his level of culpability, given his medical diagnosis.
The case was adjourned until January 26 next year.
