Detective jailed for child porn

[30 May 2008]

A detective has been jailed for two and a half years for photographing and distributing indecent images of children.

David Geering, 48, was caught after contacting an undercover police officer from the Met's Paedophile Unit, who was posing as a 12-year old girl online. He was a serving detective constable for the Met Police at the time of the offences. It was also revealed that Geering has used the false name of Nigel Robotham and has been involved in distributing hundreds of indecent images of children to other paedophiles. His use of computers ranged from an internet cafe in Victoria, central London, a residential address in Hertfordshire, and an address in Spain.
