A CATHOLIC priest yesterday admitted sending pornographic photos of children over the internet.

A court heard Father Barnaby Dowling, 46, was exposed in a police probe that linked him to a child pornography ring.

Dowling admitted eight offences from March 10 2005 to February 8 this year relating to indecent pictures of boys and girls.

David Jones, defending, told Salisbury magistrates: "It has had a devastating effect on him.

"It happened during a difficult time, having been diagnosed with cancer, followed by depression."

The parish priest of St Osmund's Roman Catholic Church, Salisbury, Wilts, spoke only to confirm his name, age and address.

He was released on bail for sentencing on July 10.
