Ward downloaded four indecent images
A HAWICK man who admitted having indecent images of children has been ordered to carry out 100 hours unpaid work at Jedburgh Sheriff Court.
Sean Ward of Ramsay Road, was given a two year community pay back order with supervision and was placed on the sex offenders register for a similar period.
The offence happened at Dovemount Place, Hawick, in May last year.
The court was told that 20-year-old Ward downloaded four indecent images.
Sheriff Kevin Drummond said that due to the small number of images and that Ward was a first offender he was able to deal with the matter by a community pay back order.
Ward was also told he was not able to access Internet devices without the permission of his supervising officer.
