Reading Magistrates' Court: Thatcham man sent to Crown Court for sentencing on child sex images charges
A MAN has been caught with nearly 2,000 indecent images of children.
More than 500 of them depicted the very worst kind of sexual abuse.
In the dock at Reading Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, July 26, was Rex Fenemore.
The 70-year-old, of The Court, off Park Avenue, Thatcham, admitted having 507 images of children in Category A – the most serious.
He further admitted having 596 images in Category B.
Finally, Fenemore admitted having 781 images in Category C.
All the above offences were committed in Thatcham between December 8, 2017, and July 20 last year.
District judge Samuel Goozee considered his powers of punishment may be insufficient.
He therefore sent all matters to Reading Crown Court to be sentenced on a date to be fixed.
Mr Fenemore was meanwhile released on unconditional bail.
