Child images case

Date published: 28 January 2011


A LANDSCAPE gardener accused of making indecent images of girls as young as 10 has been banned from using the internet by magistrates in Manchester.

Matthew Beck (33), of Wellington Road, Greenfield, is facing 16 counts under the Protection of Children Act.

It is alleged the photographs were of girls aged between 10 and 15.

Beck will next appear in crown court for a plea and case management hearing on March 10.

Magistrates also made it a condition of Mr Beck’s bail that he has no unsupervised contact with children.
