ANDREW Smith, 55, of Killington Drive, Kendal, appeared at South Lakeland Magistrates’ Court on nine charges of possessing 36 prohibited images of children.
Prosecuting Jane Mackrill told the court that due to the graphic nature and the number of images she felt the case should be heard at crown court.
Smith is due to appear at Carlisle Crown Court on March 31.
