Scores of indecent images of children were found on a Cumbrian man's mobile phone, a court has heard.

He remains in custody ahead of a trial set for the week of 28 May.

The court was told the photographs were made between September and October 2021, with 29 images classed as being of the most serious level, Category A, four in Category B and 136 in Category C.
