A man will stand trial next summer accused of having indecent images of children.
Jonathan Lloyd, 47, of West Acre Drive, Norwich, appeared before Oxford Crown Court via video link from his solicitors’ office on Wednesday (October 18).
He pleaded not guilty to allegations of making indecent images of children and breaching a sexual harm prevention order imposed by an Aylesbury Crown Court judge in 2014 by using the TOR computer programme designed to access the dark web.

Prosecutors say his computer contained 132 indecent images of children in the worst category – A – which typically includes depictions of child rape. There were 111 files in category B and 358 in category C.
The charges date back to 2020-2021 and were allegedly committed in Oxfordshire.
Lloyd was bailed by Judge Nigel Daly to return to the crown court in August 2024 for his trial.
