A councillor has been charged with four counts of making and distributing indecent images of children, the National Crime Agency (NCA) has said.

Matthew Sephton, 41, from Altrincham, was charged after being arrested last December.

The Trafford councillor has also been charged with possession of prohibited images and possession of extreme pornography, the NCA said.

Mr Sephton is due before Manchester Magistrates' Court on 12 July.
