Another Sicko Porn Collector Put Away
LONDON (CP) - A British astrophysicist with the University of Lethbridge has been sentenced to 15 months in an English jail after he was caught taking indecent photos of children near one of London's most popular landmarks.
Robin Phillips appeared in a courthouse in South London on Tuesday after pleading guilty in early October to four charges including taking indecent images of children and possessing indecent images of children.
Phillips, a 33-year-old father of two, entered the courtroom in a dark grey suit, accompanied by his parents and wife, Barbara, who have stood by his side since his arrest on Aug. 27.
