A JUDGE told a man who admitted offences involving more than 2,700 indecent pictures of children that he could be jailed.

Judge Derwin Hope issued the warning at the city crown court after Richard Cantelo admitted 20 charges of possessing the material or with a view to distributing them showed them to another.

Cantelo, 40, of Market Buildings, Swaythling, will be sentenced on November 17.
