Child abuse images sees an accountant in denial jailed for 45 months

AN ACCOUNTANT convicted of child pornography offences was yesterday jailed for three years and nine months by the Royal Court.

Paul Towers, 51, denied the seven counts against him but he was found guilty of each by a 6-3 majority at trial last month.

Towers had tried to blame his crime on his ex-wife, who had reported the pornography to police, and during their turbulent relationship she had accused him of trying to poison her.

Towers had a total of 147 still images on his machine and seven videos, though all had been deleted and could be recovered only with specialist software by forensics.
