Venables, 27, is expected to enter his pleas to two charges through a prison videolink to the Old Bailey on July 23.

They allege he downloaded 57 indecent photographs of children on to his computer, and in doing so, made seven images available to others on the internet while the process was taking place.

The charges could not be reported because of an injunction imposed by Mr Justice Bean last month.

But he lifted the injunction following an application by the media.

Gavin Millar QC, for the director of public prosecutions Keir Starmer, said he would read the charges for the record of proceedings.

He said: "A man known as Jon Venables has been charged with two offences."

Venables was accused of downloading on to his computer 57 indecent photographs of children between February last year and February this year.

Mr Millar said a list of the photographs was on a schedule before the court.

Venables was also charged with distributing seven indecent images of children through the internet between February 1 and 23 this year
