A 16-year-old boy from Milton Keynes has been convicted of making more than 1,800 indecent images of children.

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before Milton Keynes magistrates last week.

He pleaded guilty to six charges of making indecent photographs and moving images of a child, contrary to the Protection of Children Act 1978.

The total number of such images was 1,829 and all the offences happened in a three-day period between March 13 and March 16 last year, when the boy was 15.

The court took the boy's guilty pleas into account when sentencing him

Magistrates referred him to the Buckinghamshire youth offender panel for a 12-month contract to attend regular meetings. His guilty plea was taken into account for the sentencing.

The boy was also ordered to pay a surcharge to the victim services fund of £21.
