A former Express executive investigated by police as part of a worldwide investigation into child pornography was today jailed for three months.
Andy Bull, who resigned as deputy editor of the Sunday Express last year, was found guilty on four counts of "making an indecent photograph of a child" and sentenced to serve four three month jail terms concurrently at Isleworth crown court today.
Operation Ore started after an FBI raid on two internet membership sites in the US which provided access to 300 pay-per-view pornographic sites.
The FBI collected the names of 75,000 repeat users, including 7,000 UK residents, whose names were passed to Scotland Yard.
Rock star Townshend, who admitted visiting pornographic sites while researching a book, was the most high profile of those interviewed.
