A 29-year-old man has been ordered to serve his sentence in the community after admitting to making indecent images of children.

Dominic Nathan Brown, of Stourhead Close, admitted to making 18 indecent still images of children between January 2011 and April 2016 before appearing in Winchester Crown Court for sentence earlier this week.

He pleaded guilty to making five category A images - the most extreme images - eight category B images and five category C images over the five-year period.

Brown was ordered to complete a three-year community order requiring him to take part in a sex offender treatment programme and attend 15 rehabilitation activity days.

He was also made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order for five years and ordered to sign the sex offender register for the same amount of time.
