CROWN COURT JUDGE AVOIDS JAIL AFTER DOWNLOADING INDECENT IMAGES OF KIDS A senior judge has been given a community-based sentence after admitting to downloading indecent images of children, prompting renewed concern about accountability within the justice system. David Selwood, once a resident judge at Portsmouth crown court, was sentenced to a 12-month community rehabilitation order after authorities discovered dozens of illegal images on his personal computer. The material, involving boys aged between eight and 14, had been downloaded over several weeks. During sentencing, the court emphasized the seriousness of the offences, noting that such crimes contribute to the exploitation and abuse of children. While acknowledging Selwood’s previously distinguished career in both the legal profession and the military, the judge made clear that these factors did not diminish the gravity of his actions. Selwood had already resigned from his judicial post and admitted multiple charges related to the creation and possession of indecent images. His name has been placed on the sex offenders register, though the court determined that formal participation in a treatment programme was not necessary, instead recommending supervision and guidance through probation services. The case has sparked criticism from child protection advocates, who argue that Selwood’s past role in presiding over cases involving offences against children should be subject to closer scrutiny. Some campaigners have questioned whether previous judgments he delivered ought to be reviewed, given the nature of his convictions. Investigators were initially alerted after international authorities traced activity linking Selwood to an overseas website hosting illegal material. A subsequent search of his computer uncovered the images in question. In his defence, Selwood claimed he had accessed the material out of curiosity and denied any sexual interest in children. His legal representative highlighted the personal and professional consequences he has already faced, including the loss of his career and reputation. Officials involved in the investigation stressed that the case demonstrates that no individual is beyond the reach of the law, regardless of their status or position. Authorities reiterated their commitment to pursuing offences involving child exploitation and ensuring those responsible are held accountable.
