Indeed, but its standard practice when sentencing is being worked out.

Liam Kotrie, a criminal defence solicitor at Mary Monson Solicitors who has dealt with 'hundreds' of sex abuse image cases, said first time offenders were very rarely jailed.
However, he said it was 'very rare' for someone like Edwards who had received a Category A image - the most serious category - not be sentenced in crown court or receive a sexual harm prevention order.
'I've never heard of a case of possession of category A images that stayed in magistrates court for sentencing, it's very unusual. I've never had that and I've done hundreds of them,' he told MailOnline.

The article also highlights that there is still no idea of the full extent of what he got up to. The evidence has only come from the phone/device of somebody else, not his.
Should imagine there's a quite a lot of legal content out there for him to have looked at, and a lot of it might've been free.
