A MUSSELBURGH man has admitted possessing indecent images of children.

Martin Geddes, of the town's New Street, was caught with the child porn pictures at his home.

He pleaded guilty to the charge during an appearance at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.

The 38-year-old had a not guilty plea to taking, or allowing to be taken, indecent photographs of children accepted by the Crown.

He will return to court for sentencing on March 15 after Sheriff Norman McFadyen deferred for reports.

Geddes admitted possessing indecent pictures of children at his home between September 28, 2014 and March 9 last year.
