George Patmore cleared of accessing child abuse images but faces sentence for pictures of dog sex

A Metropolitan Police officer who had indecent images of children on his iPhone has been cleared by a jury, but could still face jail over pictures of people having sex with dogs.
George Patmore, 31, told jurors at Southwark crown court he had no idea how the 24 illegal images featuring children ended up on his device when he was arrested in July 2022.

Patmore, who had been a PC on the Met’s North East Command Unit, broke down in tears in the witness box as he revealed his battle against a pornography addiction.
He conceded that he had a sexual interest in bestiality, and told the court: “I’m f***ing ashamed. It never goes away, I’ll always be ashamed of that – what I’ve done and viewed.”

He was cleared after a trial of three counts of making indecent images of children, but could still face a jail term in September when he is sentenced for publishing images and messages about the sexual abuse of dogs.
During the course of a three-day trial, Patmore was questioned over the images in his possession, as well as online search terms such as “old man orgy with young teen”.
“I’ve never been taken to sites with indecent images of young teens,” he told the court.
“I would not expect that in a Google search. I certainly didn’t expect that to come up and it never did.”
Patmore fought back tears as he described himself as “two-years sober” from a pornography addiction.
He said he wears his one-year sobriety chip which has been cast in silver, and he is now involved with helping others to beat similar addictions.
Patmore accepted he had “descended to a dark place, looking at adult porn and bestiality”.
But he insisted he had never looked for images involving people who were under the age of 18.

“I have not searched ‘child’, not searched for ‘infant’, anything along that line. There is no record of that, because that’s not occurred.”
Patmore, from Edgware, northwest London, was cleared of three charges of making indecent images of children.

He is due to be sentenced on September 17 for publishing an obscene image.
Scotland Yard said Patmore had been suspended from duty when he was arrested in July 2022.

He presumably had a good lawyer who was able to cite the relevant case law.

“old man orgy with young teen”

These are bread and butter taboo porn categories. He is being prosecuted for an interest in non-studio porn genres.

Any police officer should know where his image cache is, and know about securely erasing that data.

The UK has a long history of prudish laws and attitudes, and it is the originator of the MAP panic.

Nothing from the UK surprises me. The country is evil.

TULIA, Texas (KVII) — A former Texas County Sheriff's deputy was sentenced to 30 years in the Institutional Division of Texas Department of Corrections for child sexual abuse violations in Swisher County.
According to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's Office, James Mark Bishop, 52, pleaded guilty on Aug. 28 to two charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child and sexual performance of a child and was sentenced to 30 years in state prison by the 242nd District Court.
Bishop was charged with sexually abusing his then 12-year-old niece in 2018. Bishop, a convicted sex offender out of Oklahoma, was living in Tulia, Texas and working as a truck driver while abusing his family member and soliciting child pornography.
The investigation uncovered that Bishop was still facing prison time for his original sentence in Oklahoma for knowingly downloading child pornography and provided the basis for the revocation of his parole in Oklahoma.
Bishop was a deputy with the Texas County Sheriff’s Office in 2005 when he was arrested for sexual exploitation of a child. He was convicted in 2007 on five counts of knowingly downloading child pornography.
In 2011, Bishop was released from prison. He was placed on probation and subsequently moved to Tulia.
He was arrested in Tulia in 2020 for continuous sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by sexual contact for incidents involving a 12-year-old girl.
After several months as a fugitive listed on Texas Most Wanted, Bishop was arrested in Oregon by the U.S. Marshals Task Force and brought back to Texas in 2022 by a joint effort of federal law enforcement and the Texas Attorney General's Office.
Bishop’s parole was revoked in Oklahoma, where he was sentenced to 33 years in prison. In addition, Bishop was sentenced to 10 years in the federal penitentiary for failure to register as a sex offender in late 2022.

The Attorney General's Office and Tulia Police Department investigated the case.

This is very bittersweet to me. I wonder how many people he has put away for the same crimes he has been found guilty of.

ONWAY, Ark. — A deputy out of central Arkansas was among those arrested in an operation meant to combat human trafficking, according to court records.
Jacob S. Teel, 37, of Greenbrier, is a deputy for the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff there suspended Teel and plans to fire him, according to KAIT, the ABC affiliate in Jonesboro.

Teel is accused of traveling to Conway to meet up with someone he met on the internet, according to the Faulkner County Sheriff's Office. Teel thought the person was 15 years old, but was actually an undercover agent.
Teel arranged to meet the fictional girl at a hotel, according to the arrest affidavit. On the day of the meeting, he sent a message stating he couldn't meet there because he saw a deputy's car nearby. He stopped at a nearby Walmart and then went home, where he was arrested.
Teel told an investigator he never really intended to meet anyone for sex. He said he was driving home when he stopped at the Walmart to get lasagna.
Arkansas court records list Teel's charges as internet stalking of a child and traveling for the purpose of an unlawful sex act with a minor.
A judge ordered Monday morning that Teel be issued a public defender. No defense attorney was listed on court documents as of Tuesday morning.

His bond was set at $500,000, and arraignment was scheduled for Oct. 21.
“Surprise. Disbelief, really, because you don’t expect a police officer,” Cleburne County resident Jessika Deaton said, according to KAIT. “They’re supposed to serve and protect, not hurt people, you know, kids.”

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC/WBTW) — A former Henrico County, Virginia, police employee was arrested Thursday after Horry County authorities say he tried to meet a minor for sex via a social media app.
Daniel James Busang, 55, was arrested after investigators with the Horry County Sheriff’s Office received a tip about activity on the app Kik. Busang is accused of using the app to try to meet a minor for sex.
He was charged with three counts of criminal exploitation of a minor and released from the J. Reuben Long Detention Center on Friday after posting a $30,000 bond, according to online jail records.
The Henrico County Police Division confirmed to News13’s sister station, WRIC, that Busang was employed by the department for 15 years — starting in 1996 and ending in 2011, when he resigned. The police spokesperson did not specify what Busang’s role was at the division during his tenure.
The South Carolina Attorney General’s Office will prosecute the case.
