MICHAEL MARSHALL FROM ATHERTON ADMITS TO CHILD PORNOGRAPHY OFFENSES IN WIGAN COURT

In a recent court appearance at Wigan, Michael Marshall, a 31-year-old resident of Peak Avenue in Atherton, has confessed to serious charges related to the possession of indecent images of children. The case, which drew significant attention due to the nature of the allegations, was heard before local justices where Marshall pleaded guilty to multiple counts involving child pornography.

Marshall's admission covered all three categories of seriousness associated with such images, indicating a range of material that varies in severity and explicitness. Additionally, he acknowledged possessing a prohibited image of a child, a charge that underscores the gravity of his offenses. The court proceedings revealed the extent of the charges against him, which are considered highly serious under the law.

Following his guilty plea, Marshall was granted bail, allowing him to remain free until his sentencing hearing scheduled for September 25 in Bolton. As part of the bail conditions, he is required to sign onto the Sex Offenders’ Register, a legal obligation that remains in effect until the court finalizes his sentencing. The case continues to develop as authorities prepare for the upcoming hearing, where the full extent of his sentence will be determined based on the charges and his criminal record.
