Skipton man sent to crown court charged with possessing indecent images of children
A SKIPTON man has been sent to crown court to face multiple charges of possessing indecent images of children.
Martin Christopher Walsh, 28, is charged with 13 counts of possession, including digital videos and photographs, in Skipton on May 23 this year.
Four of the charges relate to images of the the highest level of severity, Class A, with the majority at the lowest level, Class C.
Walsh, of Sackville Street, made no indication of plea when he appeared at Skipton Magistrates' Court on Friday. Magistrates accepted an application from the Crown that the case was not suitable for the Skipton court, and his case was adjourned for a preliminary hearing at Bradford Crown Court on September 18.
