A former Hull councillor has been charged with making and distributing indecent images of children.
Ryan Langley was deputy leader of the Hull's Lib Dem group going into the local elections of May 2021.
He has been charged with three counts of making indecent images of children, one count of distributing them, and one count of causing or inciting the sexual exploitation of a child, police said.
