A Southampton man has appeared in court charged with making sickening child porn.
David Wood was arrested following intelligence gathered by the national Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre.
The unemployed 46-year-old, of Swaythling Road, Southampton, will stand trial in November after denying seven counts of making indecent images and another charge of distributing child porn. Detectives from Sussex Police’s Paedophile Online Investigation Team arrested him in August 2010 at his former home in Eastbourne. He wa charged in June this year.
At Hove Crown Court he entered not guilty pleas to all the charges, which do not involve allegations of any contact with children, either directly or online.
Wood has now been remanded in custody until his trial on November 26.
