uLethbridge Astrophysicist Jailed on Child Porn Charges

A British astrophysicist with the University of Lethbridge, in southern Alberta, has been sentenced to 15 months in an English jail after he was caught taking indecent photos of children in Trafalgar Square. Robin Phillips was caught by plainsclothes police taking photographs up the skirts of young girls, and had downloaded half a million indecent images of children. uLethbridge has suspended Phillips, and launched an internal investigation to determine if any of its computers were linked to his activities.
