A former police officer who swindled a pensioner out of millions of dollars with dodgy documents he was selling on the dark web dobbed in his own scheme.

The 46-year-old admitted to one count each of using false documents, obtaining property by deception and making identification information and child pornography.

Goris assumed the identity of pensioner Kenneth Holt, creating false documents and a post office box in the man's name to assume control of his share portfolio, prosecutor Penny Thorp said.
