A MAN who published an obscene chat exploring extreme sexual fantasies involving child abuse has been warned he could be jailed.
Peter Ellmore, 26, of Bargate Lane, Dedham, admitted at a hearing at Ipswich Crown Court yesterday to publishing an obscene article namely a Wickr chat on March 16 last year.
The court heard an earlier hearing Ellmore admitting making 22 indecent images of children in the most serious level A category, 23 images in category B and 21 in the lowest level C category.
Frank O’Toole, for Ellmore, said his client had a number of issues including autism, ADHD and mental health problems and asked for the case to be adjourned to allow a psychiatric report and a pre-sentence report to be prepared on him.
Judge Emma Peters agreed to adjourn the case, saying the contents of the Wickr chat were “deeply disturbing”.
She warned Ellmore there was a real possibility that he would go to prison but said the court needed to know more about him.
Ellmore was released on bail.
