Convicted paedophile David Murrell spared jailed

Posted by David Tilley on Feb 18, 09 04:27 PM in Crime

A paedophile who worked at a hospital in Harrow was spared jail this work despite downloading more than 1,000 indecent pictures of children on his laptop.

David Murrell, a former IT consultant at the Royal National Orthopedic Hospital in Stanmore, was caught with 1,201 images on his computer after police raided his flat - which was on the grounds of the hospital.

Police began a search of the Sir Henry Floyd Court flat after staff became suspicious of the 48-year-old.

Co-workers had caught the pervert looking at adult pornography while at work and an investigation by the police uncovered the haul of indecent photos.

He has since left his job at the hospital.

He walked free from Harrow Crown Court on Monday this week after avoiding a jail term.

He was instead handed three years' community service and ordered to attend an internet sex offender group programme.
