A man who is accused of making hundreds of indecent images of children has been released on bail by a judge.

Daniel Hockham, 38, is accused of downloading the pictures and movies between 2009 and January last year.

No charges were formally put to Hockham and he did not enter any pleas during the brief hearing at Swindon Crown Court on Friday.

Judge Tim Mousley QC adjourned the case to Friday, December 12, and released Hockham, of Main Road, Christian Malford, on conditional bail until then.
