Jacqueline Hanlon, prosecuting, said: "The defendant was given a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order by Norwich Crown Court on January 31, 2020.

"The defendant had breached this order by using social media chat sites without disclosing this to police.

"They also discovered these indecent images when the device was examined."

He pleaded guilty to making 44 Category A, 37 Category B and 30 Category C images and videos of children between January 1 and April 30 2024.

Rob New, mitigating, said: "These offences go back to 2024 and Mr Thompson's life has changed dramatically since then."

The magistrates said the severity of the case means it exceeds their sentencing powers.

Thompson will be sentenced at Norwich Crown Court on or after 6 April.

He has been granted unconditional bail.
