A 13th charge – of making a Category C indecent image of a child – was not put before the court.
James, from Chippenham in Wiltshire, will go on trial at Winchester crown court on April 27 next year.

James, wearing a cream two-piece outfit, spoke only to confirm her name, date of birth and enter her pleas during the court hearing.
