Without the full details it is difficult to say.
If it is their child or near relative, and it�s a very young child and it�s kept at their own home and only shown appropriately to other close family and friends, and they have far more pics of their relative with clothes on then it doesn't seem likely to be anything sinister.
If it is someone with pics of a child who is a stranger to them, then this would seem somewhat strange to say the least. I think you would need to say more about the context of the photo, the person and how you come to know this person has such photos, before being able to answer your question.

Nudity isn't sexual in itself, so if the girl is simply naked, but not in any sort of provocative pose, it probably wouldn't be thought of as porn, whatever other people choose to do with the photo.
It sounds as if this guy is a paedophile all the same. Maybe he has other, more degrading pictures. Or maybe he doesn't and is careful to stay within the law - in which case he shouldn't be reported; the police have enough to do catching actual lawbreakers without having to chase people who obey the law but have bad thoughts. If you don't know which is true I'd let it lie.

In law they are indecent photos of children, hence he is breaking the law.
As said, many parents have "innocent" photos of children re bathtime etc. However, even these photos can be class as child porn if the intention of the observer is to make them sexual. Of course there has to be a degree of nudity or meaning, hence photos of kids on a beach or playground, although disturbing if viewed as porn, there is no offence.
"Preteen", the actual law states that 18 (Eighteen) is the age of models in porn (the only exception being if married). So in the UK a man can legally have sex with a 16 year old but he may not sexually photograph her, unless married.
Report him. You can do it anonymously.

Not mad but the guy in question has only revealed the pictures in the last couple of days. I knew how he felt about my daughter and did not ever give him the chance to be alone with her. Thanks for your advice everyone. I am contacting the police now. However been as i am probably the only person who has seen these pics or that he has told about them ...... well i guess my windows are gonna be being put through lol......... o well i guess thats a price i will have to pay
