A CONVICTED paedophile admitted possessing child pornography.
Adrian de Havilland, 46, formerly Adrian Goodenough, sexually assaulted an 11-year-old girl in 1982 but was not caught and jailed until 2010. He returned to Oxford Crown Court yesterday to admit four recent charges of downloading child pornography.
De Havilland, who also committed 51 indecent exposures and five indecent assaults between 1982 and 2001, attacked the girl on a footpath near Didcot Power Station in April 1982. He was jailed for 39 months in August 2010. He was set to be released on licence last year before police charged him with the pornography offences.
De Havilland, formerly of Wallingford but recently of Sherwood Drive, Wigan, Lancs, admitted four counts of making indecent photographs of children between February 2009 and February 2010.
Remanding him in custody before sentencing on February 24, Judge Anthony King told De Havilland he will be jailed again.
