The British man’s  home was raided by police after a report was made about suspicious activities involving young boys

Today, David Taylor, 40, appeared in the Dangriga Magistrate’s Court, where two charges of aggravated assault of an indecent nature and one charge of committing an unnatural crime (buggery) were read to him.

Taylor, a British man who lives in Placencia, had his home raided by police after a report was made to them about suspicious activities involving children – male children.

The search resulted in police finding 500 pictures of 4 young boys (between 10 and 13 years) posing nude and involved in lewd acts with adult males.

Police also found 50 videos with the same repulsive acts being performed.

Yesterday, Taylor was detained, pending charges of indecent assault and having possession of pornographic material.

He was unrepresented when he appeared in court today.

Taylor pleaded guilty to the two charges of aggravated assault of an indecent nature. The magistrate, Ed Usher, asked him on more than one occasion if he was sure of his plea, to which he replied yes.

But Magistrate Usher, after learning that Taylor’s attorney could not be present for the proceeding, decided to enter an equivocal not guilty plea on his behalf.

When it came to the unnatural crime charge, no plea was taken from Taylor, as it was explained that this charge will be treated as an indictable matter, which will be heard in the Supreme Court.

When it came to the matter of bail, the prosecutor objected on the grounds of Taylor’s safety and the fact that being a British national posed a flight risk if given bail.

Magistrate Usher upheld the objections and remanded Taylor to the Hattieville Prison until his next court appearance on February 14, 2013.
