Sentencing date set for Kirkby pervert who downloaded sick child porn

David Whitehead, aged 59, of Diamond Avenue, admitted three counts of making indecent images of children, when he appeared at Mansfield Magistrates Court, on Tuesday.

Nicole Baugham, prosecuting, said Whitehead's internet service provider tipped off police and officers confiscated devices from his address on August 22, last year.

The court heard he had 25 category A images, 28 category B, and 366 category C, when category A is the most extreme.

She said the children depicted were aged between eight and 12, and also as young as six.

Pars Samrai, mitigating, asked for a probation report to be prepared before the defendant appears at Nottingham Crown Court on September 26.

District judge Gillian Young ordered Whitehead to sign on at a police station under notification rules for sex offenders within three days.
