A MAN had admitted 30 counts of making child pornography using girls as young as three at an address in Huddersfield.

Richard Bugg, 37, has also confessed to possessing extreme images – including animal porn.

Bugg, of Campbell Street in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire had been due to stand trial at Leeds Crown Court yesterday.

But having originally denied the charges he changed his mind and pleaded guilty to 20 counts of making indecent images of children on or before October 6, 2011.

The girls involved were aged between three and 15.

Bugg also confessed to having 3,063 level one photographs, one level 2 photograph, ten level 3 photographs and two level 4 photographs .

Images classed as level 4 show penetrative sex involving a child and adult.

Bugg also owned up to ten counts of possessing extreme pornographic images, including 65 level five bestiality pictures.

The court heard he admitted accessing a website that showed “adult bestiality” and there was evidence he had gone to a second website, although it was not yet clear if he had been forcibly re-directed by his web browser or not.

He will be sentenced at Leeds Crown Court on April 2.
