A former school chaplain and rector has pleaded guilty to making indecent images of a child.

Samuel Erlandson, 36, from Ruabon, Wrexham, admitted two charges at Mold magistrates' court on 23 November.

He has since been dismissed as chaplain of St David鈥檚 College - a boarding school in Llandudno, Conwy county. It is understood the charges do not involve pupils at the school.

Erlandson is due to appear at Llandudno Magistrates' Court for sentencing on 30 December.

Erlandson had also been rector of St Hilary鈥檚 Church Llanrhos and St Paul鈥檚 in Llandudno.

St. David鈥檚 College said it was "deeply shocked and distressed by the news"

"When we were told about his arrest we immediately took steps to ensure he had no further engagement with the school community, and as soon as we heard he had pleaded guilty we dismissed him from his role."
