A serving officer from Avon and Somerset Police, who lives in Crewkerne, is facing a prison sentence after more than one thousand indecent images of children were found at his home. James Gullis, aged 29, pleaded guilty to multiple charges, relating to the making and possession of indecent or prohibited images of children when he appeared at Exeter Magistrates Court. Gullis, a former scout leader, was bailed and will be sentenced at Exeter Crown Court on March 19th.
