Teacher Robyn Wheldon-Williams, 39, who used to be on the kids science programmes ATOM and Brainiac, was in the dock alongside his brother Dyfan, also a teacher, when they both pleaded guilty to downloading indecent images of children

Two brothers, both teachers at secondary schools in Gwynedd , have admitted possessing indecent images of children.

Robyn Wheldon-Williams, 39, and his brother Dyfan Wheldon-Williams, 42, both of the same address in Bontnewydd, near Caernarfon , appeared before a judge at Caernarfon Crown Court.

They admitted a total of 11 charges of possessing and making more than 1,400 indecent images and videos of children under 18.

Sentence was adjourned until July 8 for the preparation of reports by the probation service.

Allowing both men bail, Judge Rhys Rowlands said: “You have both pleaded guilty and this will attract credit when you return to court for sentence.

“I am not in a position to deal with you today because no pre-sentence report is available.

“You should not read anything into the fact you are allowed bail, especially you Robyn Wheldon Williams, as there are a significant number of images of category A. You must be prepared for all possible sentence options when you return to court.”

Robyn Wheldon-Williams admitted eight charges of making and possessing indecent images of children.

The number of images total 1,402 and 80 video clips and the offences occurred between January 1 2007 and May 13 last year the court heard.

He also admitted a charge of possessing 40 indecent images of children between the same dates.

Dyfan Wheldon-Williams also admitted a charge of possessing extreme pornographic images.

Robyn Wheldon-Williams is a teacher at Ysgol Syr Hugh Owen in Caernarfon and was suspended from his post when he was arrested last year.
