A PARAMEDIC has appeared in court charged with possessing 1,300 indecent images of children.

Jason Williams, 40, formerly of Pettit Way, Fishtoft, but now living in St Giles Avenue, Sleaford, declined to enter a plea to one charge of possession of indecent images of children and 10 offences of making indecent images of children when he appeared at Boston Magistrates Court.

The allegations relate to images allegedly discovered on a computer during a police raid at Williams' home in April.

The images are said to include pictures of children as young as five-years-old and have been classed as between levels one and four on the five level scale of seriousness.

The case was committed to Lincoln Crown Court with the next hearing on January 8.
