COLLEGE LECTURER CAUGHT WITH INDECENT IMAGES AND HIDING LAPTOP
A college lecturer dumped a laptop in a canal to hide indecent images he had downloaded.
He put the images on a college computer which he threw into a waterway when the alarm was raised, a court heard.
It led to Darren Judson's contract being terminated at New College, Nottingham, and his decline was outlined at Nottingham Magistrates' Court.
Deputy District Judge Vee Munro told him: "These images are out there for ever and a day.
"It perpetrates the crime that people are looking at these images." She imposed a 38-week prison term, suspended for two years, on Judson, 55, of Staples Street, Nottingham.
He must do 120 hours community work and spend 35 days of rehabilitation with probation officers.
Judson admitted downloading 64 indecent images of children at his home between January 1, 2014 and March 26 last year.
None of the images were related to his work.
He later said that he had thrown it into a canal and that machine has never been recovered.
