Police worker on internet porn charge

The arrests were made as part of Operation Ore

Three people, including a support worker for the Wiltshire police force, have been arrested in connection with internet child pornography.

Detectives received information from investigators in the US, suggesting the male staff member had paid to download child pornography.

The employee has been suspended pending the outcome of an investigation.

A total of 14 people have now been arrested in the county under Operation Ore - the investigation into alleged UK users of a US child pornography website.

Graham Chivers, spokesman for Wiltshire Police said: "One member of our support staff has been arrested and is on police bail on suspicion of downloading child pornography from the internet.

"Since this man was arrested, a further two warrants have been issued and a further two people have been arrested."
