A BASINGSTOKE man allegedly made child sex abuse images, a court has heard.

Andrew Cobley, of Gainsborough Road, Black Dam, was charged with making two indecent images of a child of class A and 21 of class C.

Additionally, the 21-year-old was charged with being in possession of "extreme pornographic images" which portrayed a person performing sexual acts with an animal.

All offences were said to have taken place between December 23, 2018 and October 11, 2019, and appearing at Basingstoke Magistrates' Court last Tuesday, Cobley indicated guilty pleas to all.

He has been released on unconditional bail until January 18, for a pre-sentence report to be prepared.

Cobley was also required to register on the sex offenders register, with the length to be determined on sentencing.
