Ross Blackburn appeared at Hull & Holderness Magistrates Court today for his first hearing.The defendant is accused of making and distributing indecent images of a child, charges which date back to the case file originally listed as 16XP1769823.
Blackburn showed up voluntarily and did not enter a plea at this initial appearance.
Details of the allegations involve creating and sharing indecent photographs or pseudo-photographs of a child.
The case will continue to be processed through the court system to determine the next steps.
The court scheduled the case for a future hearing as investigations remain ongoing.
Blackburn was remanded on unconditional bail, with no restrictions issued by the magistrates at this stage.
Every defendant is entitled to a fair trial, and Blackburn will have the opportunity to defend himself against the serious allegations.
