May 2014:  Now goes by the name Jack Dempsey –  He owns the shop/cafe called Dawn of Time in the high street in Lowestoft – Photos below are recent January 2003 Airman has sentence cut – BUT is still guilty for indecent images of children A former airman who was arrested at North Yorkshire’s RAF Leeming fighter base for downloading child abuse images has had his sentence cut. The Appeal Court reduced James Richard Poole’s jail term from 18 months to three, which saw him released from custody. The 34-year-old airman, from Dalford Court, Telford, Shropshire, had been found guilty of downloading indecent pictures of children at Teesside Crown Court in October. The Appeal Court said the trial judge did not have the benefit of sentencing guidelines which were formed after Poole was jailed. October 2002 Child abuse images at RAF Leeming THOUSANDS of pornographic images, including illicit pictures of girls under the age of 16, were found on a computer at RAF Leeming. A former airman, who was accused of visiting Internet websites in search of child pornography, told Teesside Crown Court on Tuesday that pornography is rife within the RAF and indecent images were often swapped in men’s barracks for videos and cigarettes. The court heard James Richard Poole, 33, a father of two, deny 12 counts of taking indecent photographs of young girls between September 2000 and his arrest on August 9 last year. The pictures were found when Ministry of Defence police raided his room at Blackburn Barracks and seized his PC which contained a file labelled “Sorted Porn”. Poole, of Dulford Court, Hollingswood, Telford, Shropshire, was arrested just days before he was due to leave the RAF following an allegation of harassment, and an image was discovered on his computer. Officers inspecting a copy of the computer’s hard drive discovered an encrypted site but Poole refused to give them the password for the site or say what it contained. Poole said the images must have been placed on his computer remotely by someone else. Mr Peter Johnson, prosecuting, said Poole, who served in the forces for 12 years before leaving to work as a self-employed IT consultant, was experienced in computer use. Det Con David John Lewis of the MoD police said Poole used software to automatically download images from the Internet from a number of sites. The court later heard that Poole had 6,000 pornographic images on the hard drive of his computer and two CD Roms full of indecent pictures, among which were pornographic images of girls believed to be under 16. When interviewed, he claimed a former lover, who he had harassed in the past, had installed a programme on his computer which could be accessed remotely. He suggested this may have been used to download child pornography. However, he told the court he did not believe she or her subsequent boyfriend, a Microsoft certified systems engineer, had anything to do with the images being downloaded on to the computer. Under cross-examination, Poole admitted downloading amateur cartoon pornography – Japanese Hentai and Manga – which he distributed to other servicemen, but denied ever being involved in searching for child pornography. “I am the father of a six-year-old girl. I am not a child pornographer,” he said. “The one thing I cannot stand, the one thing that really gets my back up is child pornography.” Poole told the court he could not explain how child pornography images appeared on his computer but said his room had been open and his computer available for other servicemen to surf the Internet. And in court the following day, Leeds computer consultant Jonathan Vogler said files were created on Poole’s PC following his arrest but could not explain how they got there He said MoD police had not followed police guidelines after Poole’s arrest Detectives who searched the room did not immediately switch off his computer, even though it was connected to the Internet and by network to his next-door neighbour’s computer.
