A former martial arts teacher confessed to being "sexually attracted" to indecent images of children after he was arrested.
Michael Southern, 28, of Vine Street, Widnes, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Tuesday after being found with more than 100 indecent images of children, some aged only one year old. Carmel Wilde, prosecuting, explained the details of the case.
A court heard that on December 15, 2018, police received information about Southern, but did not visit him until April 9, 2019. A search warrant was executed and a laptop, hard drive and mobile phone was seized.
