This man was exposed as a paedophile after he was caught importing a child-like sex DOLL into Britain.
Perverted Brian Hopkins, 40, was stopped by Border Control as he tried to import the sick ‘toy’ into Britain.
Police then investigated him and discovered hundreds of indecent images of children on his computer.
Hopkins, of Plymouth, Devon, pleaded guilty to a total of eight charges.
He appeared in court on Friday where sentencing was adjourned until a date in September for pre-sentence reports to be prepared.
One of the charges relates to Hopkins intending to evade a prohibition under Customs legislation regarding the importation of a “child sex doll, which was an indecent or obscene article”.
Officers brought the sex doll to court but Judge Paul Darlow said he didn’t need to see it.
He described it as 1.2 metres high with three orifices and said it was not modelled on any child’s face.
Judge Darlow was told the ‘doll’ also weighs the same as a child.
Hopkins was described by his defence team as a man of “limited intellect” who has no previous convictions.
Of the near 600 abuse images he admitted making, almost half were classed as Category A – the ‘most severe’ images.
Hopkins also admitted possessing extreme pornographic images portraying a person performing intercourse with an Alsatian dog, another involving a large dog, and one which portrayed an act which would be likely to result in serious injury to a person’s intimate anatomy.
He was released on bail after the short hearing at Plymouth Crown Court.
