Julien Vieilletoile, 27, appeared at Parramatta Local Court via video link from Silverwater Metropolitan Remand Centre on Tuesday.

He pleaded guilty to using a carriage service to send indecent material to a person less than 16 years.

Speaking with a heavy French accent, Mr Vieilletoile — who is in Australia on a student Visa — initially did not understand Magistrate Rodney Brender, however he eventually pleaded guilty.
