But Robinson, of Newcastle Road, Simonside, also distributed pictures at all three abuse classification levels.

He committed the offences in South Tyneside between Wednesday, September 7, and Monday, October 10, 2022.

No details of his arrest were revealed to the court.

Prosecutor Paul Coulson told magistrates Robinson’s crimes were too serious for them to sentence, and he must be dealt with by a judge at Newcastle Crown Court.

Janice Hall, defending, said: “Even with credit for an early guilty plea, it’s outside this court’s jurisdiction.”

Magistrates ordered a pre-sentence report and granted Robinson unconditional bail to be sentenced at the crown court on Thursday, September 12
