A CASTLEWELLAN man has pleaded guilty to a series of charges relating to indecent photographs of children.

George Wilson (47), of Ballylough Road, made the admissions during an arraignment hearing at Laganside Courthouse in Belfast on Thursday.

Wilson admitted 17 charges of possessing indecent photographs or pseudo photographs of children, four charges of making indecent photographs or pseudo photographs of children and one charge of distributing or showing an indecent photograph or pseudo photograph of a child.

He also admitted a further two charges of possessing an extreme pornographic image.

The offences occurred between October 2006 and December 2015.

Wilson denied two charges of taking or making an indecent photograph or pseudo photograph of a child and these charges were left on the books.

Wilson was released on continuing bail ahead of sentencing on February 28. A pre-sentence report was ordered by the judge.
