Agent of Labour MP Chris Bryant is jailed for collecting 12,000 pictures of ‘the most serious child pornography police have seen’

Stephen Carnell was chairman of governors at a primary school in Mr Bryant’s constituency

Five laptops contained images of sadism, bestiality and child porn

He was also swapping images with other paedophiles

The agent of Labour MP Chris Bryant has been imprisoned after he was caught with a huge stash of ‘the most serious child pornography police have ever seen’.

Stephen Carnell, who was a chairman on a primary school board of governors in Mr Bryant’s south Wales constituency, was sentenced to three years in jail.

The 58-year-old was found with 12,130 pornographic images, as well as material showing sadism and bestiality, Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court was told.

A spokesman for Chris Bryant, above, said that any comment would come from Welsh Labour, who said: ‘Steve Carnell was expelled from the Labour Party immediately following his conviction’

When police visited his home, Carnell let them in, saying: ‘The child pornography is on my laptops. I’ve been stupid.’

Police saw the disturbing images on five laptops and storage equipment at his home, said David Pugh, prosecuting.

Mr Pugh said: ‘He was also distributing the images through internet file-sharing to swap with other paedophiles.’

The prosecutor said many of the images were of the most serious category, level four and five, showing ‘sexual activity with children, sadism and bestiality’.

He said Carnell had admitted to being ‘sexually interested in both male and female images on his computer’.

But he added: ‘Carnell denied being sexually attracted to children in real life.’

The election agent admitted a total of 47 charges, consisting of 35 counts of making indecent images, seven counts of possessing and four counts of distributing indecent photographs of children between May 2003 and March 2011.

There were 12,130 images and 453 films of paedophilia – showing the abuse of babies as young as 12 months as well as boys and girls up to the age of 11.

Stephen Jury, defending, said Carnell had a ‘good character’ and had been a ‘hard-working man’ for 39 years.

This is not a victimless crime – small children are subjected to the most appalling abuse for these photos and videos to be made. Anyone who is twisted enough to take part in this activity is going to be severely dealt with. This has been one of the largest number of images and movies I’ve ever had to deal with.

- JUDGE JOHN CURRAN

He said: ‘He has operated at a high professional level but he has lost his employment.

‘From the time he was arrested, he has co-operated and done what he can to assist police.

‘He appreciates the need to join a sex offenders’ treatment programme.’

A reference was handed to Judge John Curran but the author was not identified.

Judge Curran said: ‘This is not a victimless crime – small children are subjected to the most appalling abuse for these photos and videos to be made.

‘Anyone who is twisted enough to take part in this activity is going to be severely dealt with especially as there is an element of distribution.

‘This has been one of the largest number of images and movies I’ve ever had to deal with.’

Carnell was ordered to register as a sex offender for life and banned from ever working with children.

A spokesman for Mr Bryant said that any comment would come from Welsh Labour, who said: ‘Steve Carnell was expelled from the Labour Party immediately following his conviction.’

A Glasgow councillor has been sacked from several council positions over inappropriate comments about a nine-year-old girl who said she was raped.

Councillor William O’Rourke is said to have asked if the child “wanted it to happen” during a disciplinary panel into the sacking of a care worker.

He has now been sacked from Strathclyde Police Authority, the personnel appeals committee and two other boards.

Councillor O’Rourke, 72, has also been suspended from the Labour Party.

It is understood his comments were made during a recent personnel appeals committee, which he was chairing.

A former care assistant was appealing against dismissal after being accused of raping the child.

The former employee was never charged and continues to deny the allegations.

Councillor O’Rourke’s comments to the personnel appeals committee were disgraceful”

A female police officer, who investigated the case, gave evidence before the personnel appeals committee last month.

She is believed to have made a complaint against Councillor O’Rourke over comments he made about the case.

It is understood that Councillor O’Rourke asked if force was used during the alleged rape and when she told him it was not, he is alleged to have asked: “So she wanted it to happen?”

Councillor O’Rourke is then alleged to have made other comments about the girl which prompted the complaint.

Council leader Gordon Matheson said: “Councillor O’Rourke’s behaviour falls way short of the standard I and the public expect of Glasgow councillors.

“Councillor O’Rourke’s comments to the personnel appeals committee were disgraceful. We are elected by the public to protect the vulnerable people of our city.

‘Corporate parents’

“Councillor O’Rourke not only failed in his duty to do this but he also made highly offensive and inappropriate statements about a vulnerable young person.

“Councillors are by law the corporate parents of those in our care. It is the single most important responsibility we hold and I will ensure that every member of this council lives up to that responsibility.”

Councillor O’Rourke has been removed from Strathclyde Police Authority, the personnel appeals committee and the boards of council-owned companies City Parking and Glasgow City Markets.

He has also been suspended by the Labour Party pending Standards Commission and party investigations.

According to Labour 25,  The Police Woman made report of what Labour Party paedophile protector Councillor William O’Rouke was saying and all hell broke loose. Another Labour Councillor Johann Lamont who made her comments on a rape case from a Councillor from another party, kept silent on her own party on this bigger Paedophile issue, as the whole sex crime episode had just gone full circle and bit her on the arse.

Labour Party paedophile protector William O’Rouke then added that because the childs mother was a prostitute, it meant that the child also knew what she was doing.. his words were ”she is not a typical innocent 9 year old girl.” Then he added.. ” she was older sexually than here age” and he explained that it was not bad for a child of a prostute mother and poor background to see that it was not a crime to ‘have’ a child of her background.

Two more Labour Councillors Jim Scanlon and Jim Todd were at the meeting in which Labour Councillor William O’Rouke was ‘Ranting’… And said NOTHING !

This is disgracefull behaviour. If you are in the Labour Party you are Either a Paedophile or a Paedophile protector… and that means if you speak out aloud to protect paedophiles like William O’Rouke did… or you stay silent like Labour Party Councillors Johann Lamont, Jim Scanlon & Jim Todd..

Shame on all Four of you !

Harriet Harman’s political judgement has been called into question after it emerged that she once advocated the watering down of child pornography laws.

The Leader of the House of Commons and Minister for Women and Equality, who also sits on a Cabinet committee on young people’s welfare, is being touted as a possible successor to Gordon Brown, .

But she faces fresh criticism from Opposition MPs and campaign groups after The Daily Telegraph obtained documents showing that she called on ministers to make sexually explicit photographs or films of children legal unless there was evidence that the subject had been harmed.

At the time she made the official submission, she was a senior figure in a civil liberties organisation that wanted the age of consent to be lowered to 14 and incest decriminalised. It also defended self-confessed paedophiles in the press and allowed them to attend its meetings.

Last night Tim Loughton, the Shadow Children’s Minister, said: “Clearly there is a serious conflict of interest with the committees she sits on, who might want urgently to clarify her position on the exploitation of children for the sexual gratification of adults.

“It’s a shame that Miss Harman’s zeal for positive discrimination and all things politically correct among adults does not extend to the exploitation of children. Any child who is used for the sexual gratification of adults counts as an abused child and needs protecting.”
