A former Surrey Police inspector has pleaded guilty to eight counts of making indecent images of children.

Four of the images were class A, the most serious category, involving particularly violent and graphic scenes of teenage girls.

JPs heard Goodman, of Frobisher Gardens, Guildford, accessed the images through a mainstream pornographic site.

He was released on conditional bail to be sentenced at Lewes Crown Court on September 4.

Conditions included to stay away from children aged under 16, save through social services with a risk assessment or through inadvertent or unavoidable contact, and not to access three email accounts without the approval of an officer in the case.
