A TEENAGER has admitted two child porn offences.

The teenage boy, of Ulverston, pleaded guilty to two offences of making indecent photographs of a child during a hearing at South Cumbria Youth Court on Tuesday.

The youth had denied the offences while at court in November.

He had been due to stand trial on Tuesday, but the charges were amended and he changed his plea to guilty.

The teen admitted that he made four category A images of a child and one category B image of a child. The offences relate to between July 2015 and July last year.

An early charge of possession of indecent photographs of children was dismissed by the court.

The defendant was remanded on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the Barrow court on January 20.
