A 21-year-old man who was found for a second time with indecent sexual images will be sentenced at Selkirk Sheriff Court next month.
Daniel Mark from Eyemouth already had a previous conviction for possessing indecent images of children for which he was given a three year Community Pay Back Order.
He pleaded guilty to another charge of having indecent images on his phone at his Killiesgreen home last June.
The court heard that three movies and seven extreme images were discovered - featuring a dog performing oral sex on a woman.
Sheriff Peter Paterson said it was a serious offence which would undoubtedly attract a custodial sentence.
But he added he wanted to consider a full range of background reports before sentencing pointing out Mark's immaturity and vulnerability as well as his age in light of recent Appeal Court judgements.
Sentence was deferred until June 18.
