Norwich Magistrates’ Court was told officers had visited his home after being alerted he had failed to meet the deadline in July last year.

Electronic devices were also seized with downed photos of children discovered.

Stewart, of Dalryple Way in Norwich, pleaded guilty to failure to comply with notification requirements and possession of category B and C indecent images.

He will be sentenced on May 13.

The court was told he had been going through a personal crisis at the time and was taking steps to work with support organisation Stop It Now to address his ‘addiction’ to viewing photos.

He was originally placed on the register in 2016 after being convicted of using an anonymous online chat site to groom and film young girls, possessing hundreds of images and videos, some of which he had secretly recorded.
