June 2004 Man gets three years for child abuse images possession A former Scottish policeman who downloaded over 1,000 pornographic images of children ranging in age from infants to teenagers has been jailed for three years at the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. Gordon Bowers, with an address at Pembroke Square, Grand Canal Street in Dublin, was also found in possession of 76 videos. He pleaded guilty to three charges of possessing and knowingly distributing child abuse images. Judge Desmond Hogan wondered how someone could participate in the irretrievable loss of innocence of young children for his own sense of voyeurism and sexual gratification.
