Two men in court on child porn charges

Two men appeared in court yesterday charged with separate child pornography offences.

A 40-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged in Magistrates’ Court with eight counts of accessing child pornography.

The incidents are alleged to have happened between February 2014 and December 2017.

It is alleged he accessed thousands of images, as well as videos and written material.

The man, from Warwick, was not required to enter a plea as the case must be heard in the Supreme Court.

Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo released him on $10,000 bail and ordered him to hand over his passport, as well as notify the court before any travel.

In a separate indictment, a 69-year-old man faced two charges of accessing child pornography.

The Pembroke man, who also cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with two counts of accessing child pornography.

The alleged incidents took place between March 2015 and November 2017.

It is claimed the man had amassed 113 videos and 752 images.

The case will also be heard in the Supreme Court and no plea was made.

Mr Tokunbo released the man on $6,000 bail.

He was also ordered to surrender his passport and notify the court before any travel.

Both cases were adjourned until November 1.
