Sailor had child porn

A SUBMARINER faces the axe from the Navy after downloading hundreds of child porn images from the internet.

Chief Petty Officer Richard Tugwell, 36, had printouts which were found on board sub HMS Trafalgar.

Police then raided his Plymouth home and discovered the dad-of-two had 238 images of naked children on his computer.

He was fined £1,000 and put on the Sex Offenders’ Register for five years after pleading guilty at Plymouth magistrates court.
