Ripon man admits making indecent images of children
A man from Ripon has pleaded guilty to making indecent images of children.
Dilan Anwar, of North Road, Ripon, appeared before Harrogate Magistrates Court yesterday where he spoke only to confirm his name and enter a plea.
Anwar, 20, admitted two charges of making indecent photographs of a child on June 3, 2021.
Sarah Tyrer, prosecuting, told the court that police searched the 20-year-old’s bedroom in June 2021.
Officers seized devices, including an iPhone, were a category B image and 12 category C images were found.
Ms Tyrer told the court that the images were of females aged between 10 and 17.
Brian Nuttney, mitigating for Anwar, said the 20-year-old felt remorse for his actions and had pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity.

Mr Nuttney added that Anwar’s family had sent him for counselling in order to “ensure this does not happen again”.
He said:
Magistrates ordered Anwar to appear before York Magistrates Court for sentencing on April 19.
