An Acer laptop, along with a box of pen drives, were seized.

Mr Dunbar said the equipment was examined and 108 indecent images of children discovered.

A total of 16 of the images were the highest category A, six category B and 86 category C.

The fiscal depute told the court Lima admitted to police that he had received images in online chatrooms which he opened, discovered were indecent pictures of children and deleted.

Defence agent Iain Jane asked for sentence to be deferred for reports.

Sheriff Jack Brown deferred sentence on Lima, whose address was given in court papers as Boyne Court, Ladysbridge, until next month.
