Child pornographer loses third detention appeal

A law lecturer who fled England just before he was due to be sentenced for creating indecent images of a child has failed in his third attempt to challenge his detention here, pending his extradition.

Julian Myerscough, aged 54, formerly of Alexandra Rd, Lowestoft in Suffolk, was found guilty by a jury at Ipswich Crown Court on September 30, 2015, of 13 counts of making indecent images of a child.

He was also found guilty of three counts of breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order, which had been placed on him following a previous conviction for a similar offence.
