THE father of missing shopworker Jenny Nicholl is facing a possible jail sentence for downloading child pornography on his computer.
Brian Nicholl, 49, from Richmond, North Yorkshire, today admitted 16 charges of making indecent photographs of children when he appeared at Teesside Crown Court.
The court was told that the charges were specimen counts, and more than 2,000 images of child porn were found on the computer when police searched it last year.
Jenny, 19, was last seen at her home in Richmond on June 30 last year, and concern was raised when she failed to turn up for work at the town's Co-op several days later.
Police believe she has been murdered although a massive hunt has failed to find the body.
