Wales auditor arrested over indecent images allegations

Quit job last week

Agentless Backup is Not a Myth

Jeremy Colman, the ex-Auditor General for Wales, has been arrested on suspicion of possessing indecent images.

Colman quit his £170,000 a year job last week "following an internal review around matters of personal conduct". Reports suggested IT staff had found pornographic material on his laptop.

South Wales Police told the BBC that it was called in the following day.

Colman, 61, of Dinas-Powys, has been bailed until 3 March. He ran the Welsh spending watchdog for five years. ®

Cloud storage: Lower cost and increase uptime

The IT staff were horrified!

I don't suppose any of them them enjoyed the porn. I mean, they wouldn't have added it to their stashes would they?

Let him that is without porn cast the first stone.

Not very bright

If he's dumb enough to browse porn on his work laptop then he's probably no great loss to the civil service.

Disgusting...

...that the state bullies and vilifies ordinary people for the pictures they choose to look at.

What a disgrace. So, not that it matters (if they are that terrible the police should be focusing on tracking down those who MADE the images...but they never seem to...go figure) but what exactly were these horrific, unthinkable, despicable images? Seeing as it's obviosuly serious enough to warrant ruining this mans life by publishing his personal details.
