A FATHER of three young children was today behind bars after sharing "disgusting and depraved" images of child porn and bestiality.

Mohammed Kabeer thought the photos and videos of boys committing sex acts with a dog, cat, donkey, horse and hen were just a joke and sent some of them to colleagues, Bradford Crown Court heard today.

The court heard that the images of unknown youngsters appeared to have been taken abroad.

Kabeer, 31, a warehouseman, who lived at an address in the Bradford area, was locked up for a week by Judge Jonathan Rose while he decided what sentence to pass on him.

He pleaded guilty to eight offences, including possession and distribution of indecent images, voyeurism and possession of an extreme pornographic image.

Prosecutor Patrick Palmer said police seized Kabeer's iPhone and found images of boys as young as three engaged in sex acts, some involving animals.

He had also filmed two women in a lavatory, in 2012, by holding up his camera over a bathroom door and through a window.

Kabeer's barrister, Geraldine Kelly, said the indecent images were sent to him, he did not seek them out on the internet to download them.

Miss Kelly conceded they were "disgusting in nature" but there were not many of them and he passed them on to work colleagues as a joke.

Kabeer denied getting any sexual gratification from the photos and film clips.

"He is immature and naive. He thought it was a joke, but he doesn't now," Miss Kelly said.

Kabeer came to the UK in 2001 from Pakistan and still needed a Punjabi interpreter to assist him in court.

He saw filming the two women in the bathroom as a bit of "mischief".

"He is remorseful and deeply ashamed," Miss Kelly said.

He was now separated from his wife and children but working to support them and hoping for a reconciliation.

Judge Jonathan Rose sent Kabeer into custody until Friday.

Labelling the images "disgusting and depraved" he told him: "You are a hard working family man, perhaps not of the highest intelligence, but what you have done is wicked."

Judge Rose asked the probation service to look at why Kabeer's poor English made him unsuitable for a sex offender treatment course. He also wanted the service to explore the possibility of unpaid work as part of a punishment.
