Description
A MARLOES pensioner, until recently a volunteer instructor for junior sailing, has admitted making indecent photographs of children.
Derek Lister, 72, appeared at Swansea Crown Court on Thursday (Sept 30), and entered a guilty plea to creating 3 indecent category A images of a child, 14 indecent category B images of a child and 152 indecent category C images of a child.
Former teacher Lister had originally indicated that he would plead not guilty but changed his plea faced with the weight of the evidence against him.
He was given a 4-month jail sentence, suspended for two years and 150 hours community service.
The suspended sentence means that if he commits any offence within the next two years the suspended sentence will be activated, and he will be automatically sent to jail.
It is understood that he has now moved away from Pembrokeshire.
The sentencing had been delayed from a previous date as the video link system in court had been faulty.
