Judge Jonathan Rose warned Shaw that he would have to consider whether to pass a fixed prison sentence or an indeterminate one.
He ordered a psychiatric report on Shaw with a view to the danger he might pose to youngsters.
The judge said Shaw's collecting and searching for paedophilic material on the internet increased the concern about the danger he posed. Shaw was granted bail but the judge imposed various restrictions including a ban on him using the internet.
