The Sunday Times June 21 1998
ONE of the biggest Internet pornography scandals in Britain has
been uncovered at a top Ministry of Defence (MoD) research
laboratory.
Military investigators were astonished to find staff at the
Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (Dera) at Malvern, in
Worcestershire, had secretly downloaded from the Internet more
than 170,000 pornographic images - some involving children and
animals - in just three weeks.
The government scientists, who are responsible for developing
battlefield technology for Britain's armed services, used 200
false identities to collect the pornography.
The investigators found that a key computer - supposed to be used
to exchange research data with colleagues worldwide - had spent
more than 70% of its on-line time downloading and distributing the
pornographic images.
Jim Bates, a forensic computer expert who carried out an
independent inquiry, said: "The sheer amount of material is
staggering. I've never seen anything with such huge quantities
relayed to such large numbers of people."
A security guard stumbled on the ring during a routine check at
the laboratory, where 1,500 scientists and staff work. MoD police
discovered staff had used a special program, called Sucker, to
collect hundreds of thousands of images 24 hours a day from
sexually explicit news groups. Among the news groups regularly
visited were "erotica.cheerleaders", "voyeurism.hidden.camera" and
"erotica.fetish.diapers" as well as others dedicated to illegal
pictures of children. Although the ring was uncovered last year,
investigators have only now revealed the scandal after inquiries
by The Sunday Times. Five staff have been suspended.
