March 2016 Perverted theology professor escapes prison sentence A theology professor avoided a prison sentence after indecent images of children were found stored on his domestic computer equipment. But the discovery of the 165 images of young boys in a police raid at the home of Professor Charles Thomas Robert Hayward, led to the loss of the esteemed academic’s good character. The 68-year-old bachelor was arrested after police visited his home in Neville’s Cross, Durham, last January.
