A MAN has appeared in court accused of making indecent images of his stepdaughter and two children in his care.

The 45-year-old was before Huddersfield magistrates yesterday.

He is charged with recording a person doing a private act without their consent for the purpose of sexual gratification on several occasions.

The man, who has yet to enter a plea, also faces charges of making indecent pictures of a child.

The alleged offences are dated between January 1, 2010, and April 24, 2011, in Huddersfield.

Vanessa Schofield, prosecuting, told magistrates that the charges related to four complainants.

She said that the alleged offences were uncovered when the man’s stepdaughter returned home from university for the Easter break.

Ms Schofield said that the girl went in to use the bathroom and found a spy pen camera.

Police then seized computer equipment from the Huddersfield property.
