A PINEHURST man has appeared in court facing seven charges of downloading and possessing child porn photos.

Dwayne Reynolds, 36, of Pinehurst Road, appeared before magistrates yesterday and indicated no plea, but said that he would like it dealt with by Swindon Crown Court.

The court was told that the case came about following a police examination of Reynolds' computer on which 16 images of child porn were discovered.

He will be appearing at crown court on February 11 for a plea and directions hearing.
