Isle of Wight paedophile admits uploading child sex abuse images

AN ISLE of Wight paedophile who uploaded child sex abuse images to the internet featuring children as young as two years old will learn his fate next month. Adam Hatch, of Furrlongs, Newport, appeared before a judge at the Isle of Wight Crown Court on Monday, March 10. The 24-year-old admitted two counts of making indecent photographs/pseudo-photographs of a child, in Newport, on June 2, 2022. The court heard he uploaded to the internet three Category A images – the worst kind – and three Category C images. Hatch was 21 years old at the time of the offences. His case was adjourned to April 29 so a pre-sentence report could be prepared. He was granted unconditional bail until that date.
