A man who shared child sex images via Snapchat has been warned he faces a potential jail sentence.
Kiran Verma, 27, was arrested when police raided his home in Norwich after being tipped off by specialist investigators from the US-based body the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.
Norwich Magistrates’ Court was told they had passed information to Norfolk police that indecent images of children had been uploaded from a Snapchat account.
Serena Berry, prosecuting, said that led to officers seizing three electronic devices belonging to Verma during a search in May 2022.
