Australia: NSW Crown Prosecutor Arrested on Child Porn Charges

An AAP newswire article, via Australian IT, reports that:

A NSW deputy senior crown prosecutor has stood down after being charged with child pornography offences.

Dr Patrick Power SC was arrested yesterday and has been charged with possession of child pornography.

The material was allegedly stored on the hard drive of Power's home computer, which was used for both private and professional purposes.

Dr Power had brought his hard drive to work for repairs by an IT employee at the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).

It's alleged that in the process of checking files on the hard drive, the employee inadvertently accessed an explicit video recording and advised his supervisor.
