A paedophile from Cornwall, James Kelvin, has confessed to producing hundreds of indecent photos of minors, including numerous images of the most severe category, over a span of two years.
James Kelvin is currently with the prospect of incarceration subsequent to his appearance at Bristol Crown Court today (Monday, June 23).
James Kelvin, from Goldsithney, located between Penzance and Helston, was living in Bristol at the time he perpetrated the acts.
