Gomeldon man pleads guilty to making indecent images of children
David Simons, 45, will be sentenced in May
A man from Gomeldon has pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children.
David Simons, 45, of Broadfield Road appeared at Winchester Crown Court for trial on March 11 charged with three counts of making indecent images of children.
However, he pleaded guilty on the second day of the trial.
The offences happened between November 30, 2023 and January 8, 2024.
Wiltshire Police said they relate to 17 category A images of a child, 22 category B and 58 category C .
Det Con Justine Parsons, of the Child Internet Exploitation Team, said:“This was a thorough investigation which uncovered images of category A – C indecent images found on Simons’ mobile phone. Accessible Cat C images were found in Simons’ password protected hidden folder on his mobile phone.
“These are serious offences and whilst no contact offences were identified, Simons’ intentions were extremely disturbing. Protecting children remains our priority and offenders like Simons have no place in society.”
Simons will be sentenced on May 11 at Salisbury Crown Court.
