A 76-year-old man, Keith Taylor Redcar Paedophile, has confessed to producing hundreds of obscene photos of youngsters.
Keith Taylor confessed to many offences at Teesside Magistrates’ Court after being discovered in possession of over 7,000 indecent images of minors. Among them, there were 287 category A photos, the most severe, in addition to 338 category B images and 6,585 category C images.
Keith Taylor, seemingly carrying a grocery bag in court, also acknowledged violating a sexual harm prevention order and failing to adhere to the notification obligations imposed by the sex offender registry. He failed to register a Vanquis gold credit card and a Santander credit card within three days after acquiring them.
Given the number of images, magistrates decided that the case should be sent to the higher court for sentencing. Keith Taylor, of Dalby Close, Redcar, will next appear at Teesside Crown Court on May 12.
Keith Taylor, who was represented by Andrew McGloin, was given unconditional bail and an a probation report will be carried out for his sentencing hearing. Taylor spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address and to enter pleas of guilty during the short hearing.
