The court heard the first matter related to the arranging or commissioning of a child sex offence in Norfolk on June 24, 2019, while the second and third charges relate to a total of nine category C indecent still images of a child made between November 8, 2009 and November 2, 2011.
The case was sent to the crown court for trial and Halpin, of Much Birch, Herefordshire, will appear before Worcester Crown Court on February 9.
