Ex-police inspector admits making child sex images

A former Humberside Police inspector has pleaded guilty to three counts of making indecent photographs of children.

Ian Walpole, 43, of South Street, Roxby, North Lincolnshire, was also charged with causing the sexual exploitation of a child under 13. He entered no plea to this charge when he appeared at Lincoln Magistrates' Court earlier.

Walpole has been released on conditional bail for a pre-trial preparation hearing at Lincoln Crown Court on 19 June.

His bail conditions include not to have any unsupervised contact with anyone under the age of 18.
