"A former Cabinet Office digital expert is facing jail after being caught with a huge stash of nearly 400 child porn images. Sebastian Crump amassed depraved images of child abuse while working as digital communications manager advising the Government on its own website."
"Now questions are being asked about why it took six months to emerge that a government official had been arrested over child pornography allegations. Police discovered indecent images were being streamed from Mr Crump’s home computer IP address in April last year."
"But incredibly last November – while he was still being investigated – he received a promotion at the Cabinet Office, where he had previously worked in internal communications."
"Patrick Rock, deputy director of the No 10 policy unit, was arrested on suspicion of hoarding images of naked children in February. The National Crime Agency refused to confirm or deny Mr Rock had been held or the existence of any inquiry, which was finally revealed by this newspaper. Mr Rock was brought in to Downing Street as deputy head of policy in 2011, and was involved in drawing up Government policy on tackling online child abuse images."
"Although Sebastian Crump’s work did not involve any child protection issues, the Mail can reveal he landed a government job after working as a children’s charity website manager."
