Teen had large collection of porn

Police found tens of thousands of child pornography pictures and hundreds of movies when they raided a home in Blenheim last year.

An 18-year-old man, who has interim name suppression, appeared in the Blenheim District Court yesterday and admitted 21 charges of possessing objectionable material and a charge of distributing objectionable material.

Police withdrew five further charges.

The police summary of facts said police searched the house where the accused was living with his parents in March.

They found 21,775 pictures and 1281 movies on computer equipment, featuring children in sexual poses or involved in sexual conduct. The accused had used communication software, including Skype, between February and June 2009 to communicate with other users.

He was receiving and sending child pornography files, the summary said.

The man was remanded on bail to reappear for sentencing on March 22.
