He pleaded guilty to the charges

A doctor in Nottingham has been struck off after being convicted for possessing indecent images of children and extreme pornography involving animals. A tribunal decided to remove Rene Leskovac from the medical register after he pleaded guilty to the charges at Nottingham Crown Court in October 2021.

However, Leskovac told the hearing he had only pleaded guilty "on legal advice and under duress". The doctor had pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing an indecent image of a child and one count of possessing extreme pornographic images, the hearing was told.He was sentenced to a 12 month community order and a sexual harm prevention order . The SHPO set out that Leskovac could not contact females under 16 on the internet and restricted his devices.

Leskovac said that he had never seen indecent images of children until he was shown them at a police interview and initially suggested that an acquaintance from Croatia had remote access to his laptop. In the course of the proceedings, he also suggested that a named police officer was responsible for the presence of the indecent images on his devices.
