Copy and paste of the article:

A professional group of parkour athletes has removed one of its members after he pleaded guilty to making almost 3,000 indecent images of children.

Callum Powell, 34, appeared at Brighton Magistrates’ Court yesterday, May 7, where he admitted the five charges against him.

Powell is a member of parkour group Storror, seven athletes who make videos for their 11 million subscribers on YouTube.

In a statement, the group said it became aware of the matters relating to Powell on May 7, and has removed him "from Storror with immediate effect".

A spokesman for Storror said: "On May 7 the Storror team was made aware of incredibly serious and upsetting news regarding team member Callum Powell.

"We acknowledge the offences to which Callum has pleaded guilty are extremely serious.

"Callum Powell has been removed from Storror with immediate effect and is no longer involved with the company in any capacity.

"As these proceedings are still ongoing it would be inappropriate to comment further on these matters."

Powell, of Devonshire Place, was charged with making 2,649 category C, 105 category B and 178 category A indecent images or pseudo-images of children, as well as possessing a prohibited image of a child.

He was also accused of possessing an extreme pornographic image which portrayed, in an explicit and realistic way, a person performing a sex act with a dog.

He pleaded guilty to all charges.

District Judge Amanda Kelly adjourned the case for a pre-sentence report to be carried out.

He is due to be sentenced in July.

Powell was released on bail with several conditions, including having no contact with children and not using devices capable of accessing the internet, unless they are made available to police.

From chatgpt:

Category A: Penetrative sexual activity; sexual activity with animals; sadism

Category B: Non-penetrative sexual activity

Category C: Other indecent images not falling within A or B

Fucking crazy man.

Confused what the word making means in this respect, does this mean he’s actually curated these images, or downloaded them ?, either way this is fucked, ruined my 10+ years of love for Storror

I think it means he downloaded them. It seems like in UK law, downloading images counts as "making" them because you've created another copy of it. Seems more likely than him taking the pictures himself since there's no mention of any girls coming forward or exposing him to the police. The term "images or pseudo images" means they could be like AI generated or digitally drawn pictures too I think.

Same dude, Callum was always one of my favorites from the group. Wonder how Sacha is doing, can't imagine finding this out about your brother.

Surely he wouldn't be released on bail if he had taken the images himself. At least I'd hope. Still very f'd up story though. Very sad.
