A man is due to appear in court accused of possessing child porn which sparked the investigation into nursery worker Vanessa George.
Colin Blanchard, 38, from Rochdale, will appear at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester for a hearing to have his case joined up with that of George so both cases can be heard at Plymouth Crown Court later this year.
Blanchard is charged with four offences – distributing, making and possessing indecent images and extreme pornographic images.
