Man to appear in court over allegations he had indecent images of children

A man will appear in court again in June over allegations he had more than 50 indecent images of children.

Thomas James Hall of Peveril Street in Douglas was excused appearing before High Bailiff Jayne Hughes at Douglas Courthouse.

He hasn’t yet entered pleas to five counts of possessing the images between January 2020 and March this year, and three of theft between December 23 and 24 last year.

A previous hearing was told he’d stolen scratchcards from shops where he worked in Douglas and Onchan.

Mrs Hughes bailed him in the sum of £500 with a condition he doesn’t contact anyone under 16 without supervision, and he’ll appear in court again on June 27.
