Police examine computers in child porn case

POLICE involved in a child pornography inquiry which has led to the arrest of a detective who worked as a family liaison officer with the parents of murdered schoolgirl Jessica Chapman were yesterday said to be examining two computers.

Det Constable Brian Stevens, 41, and a second constable, also involved in the Soham murders inquiry, were arrested early on Thursday in connection with an FBI investigation into internet sites.

Police were yesterday given a further 12 hours to question Mr Stevens and the other officer after the case was reviewed by a superintendent. A police source said officers were also looking at two computers which had been seized in connection with the investigation. It is thought the computers had been taken from each officer’s home.
