A MAN has been put on the sex offenders register after being caught with indecent images of children and animals.

Gareth Gascoine-Leopold was found with dozens of the sick images at Gatwick airport.

He was accessing a chat room used for sharing illegal pictures.

Gascoine-Leopold, 34, pleaded guilty to the charges at Crawley Magistrates' Court on Wednesday (AUG2).

Gascoine-Leopold, of Rectory Lane, Tadley, Hampshire, was told the offences were so serious he would have to be sentenced at crown court.

He was ordered to register with the police in accordance with the Sexual offences Act and told the length of time he would stay on the Sex Offenders' Register would be determined when he is sentenced at Lewes Crown Court on August 30.
