Two men have appeared in court charged with possessing indecent images of children.

Terry Moore, aged 50, of Princes Road, Douglas, is charged with 11 counts of the offence alleged to have been committed between December 2016 and October 2019.

Robert Phillip Moore, aged 44, of Erin Way, Port Erin, is charged with four counts of the same offence alleged between May 2016 and June 2019.

The two men are not related but the offences are said to be linked.

Terry Moore was represented by Vicki Unsworth while Stephen Wood represented Robert Moore. They asked for an adjournment.

Magistrates adjourned the case until June 6. The pair were bailed in the sum of £500 with conditions to reside at their home address and not leave the island without the court’s permission.
