Robin Phillips appeared in a courthouse in South London on Tuesday after pleading guilty in early October to four charges including taking indecent images of children and possessing indecent images of children.
Phillips, a 33-year-old father of two, entered the courtroom in a dark grey suit, accompanied by his parents and wife, Barbara, who have stood by his side since his arrest on Aug. 27.
