A SEX pervert from Taunton faces jail after pleading guilty to possessing indecent photographs of children.

Lee Pallant, 22, of Charles Crescent, is believed to be one of the youngest people in the South-West to be prosecuted for downloading child pornography.

Taunton Deane Magistrates heard on Tuesday how 'curiosity got the better of him' - leaving him facing nine counts of making indecent photographs of children and one of possessing an indecent image of a child.
