Papamoa man Cameron Mark Dunn is facing a prison sentence after pleading guilty to possessing and distributing child pornography.
The 35-year-old pleaded guilty to 14 counts of knowingly distributing objectionable publications to another person and six charges of knowingly possessing objectionable publications during a court appearance in Tauranga District Court on Tuesday.
The distribution charges each have a maximum sentence of up to 10 years prison and the possession charges carry five years each.
The charges relate to a Department of Internal Affairs investigation where an officer searched Facebook for illegal use of objectionable material, particularly child sex abuse images.
Inquiries on one person’s profile led investigators to Dunn’s address in Papamoa, where his computer and other electronic devices were seized.
Judge Patrick Treston says he is prepared to consider a home detention report.
Judge Treston remanded Dunn on bail and he is to appear in the Tauranga District Court for sentencing on July 10.
