Retired supply teacher and ex-councillor Alexander Wood was caught when police acting on a tip-off raided his home. Officers discovered child
pornography as well as 43 images of extreme pornography involving bondage and mutilation.
At a hearing at Northampton Crown Court last month, Wood admitted a catalogue of offences, including possessing and downloading indecent images and videos of
children, and using MSN and other internet chat rooms to incite people he believed to be underage school girls to discuss sex and perform sexual acts for him.
Of the 1,300 abusive images found by police, 64 were classified at the two most serious
levels involving child sex abuse, bestiality and torture.
Sentencing Wood to a three-year community order with supervision yesterday, Judge Ian Alexander QC said he would not be imposing a prison sentence because guidelines would not allow for a
term long enough for Wood to complete sex offender treatment programmes. As part of his sentence, Wood will have to attend a sex offender treatment programme and sign the sex offenders' register. He will also be the subject of a sexual offences
prevention order and will have to pay prosecution costs.
