District judge Andrew Meachin said: “In view of the number of images you are alleged to have made or possessed and the nature of those images, I am satisfied that my powers of sentencing are insufficient if you were found guilty.”

Mr Thomas was bailed to Nottingham Crown Court on May 25, on condition he has no unsupervised contact with children under the age of 18.
