A graduate who helped his wife run a church youth club has admitted
downloading more than 2,000 disgusting images of children from the
internet.
Police found them on Andrew Lumber's computer when they raided his
home in Colford Close, Droitwich, on September 18, 2008.
He admitted possessing child porn when he appeared at Worcester Crown
Court.
Nearly 650 of the images were at the most serious level and there
were more than 40 moving images, 11 of which were rated serious, said
Kerry Moreton, prosecuting.
The pictures showed children aged between six months and 16 years.
Lumber told police that he was only interested in children aged about
12. He had not distributed pictures to anyone else.
Julian Harris, defending, submitted references and said that Lumber,
who had no previous convictions, lost his job when his employers
heard about the case.
He was suffering from depression at the time. He had few friends but
his wife was standing by him and his family had been supportive. He
had been disgusted and ashamed when police had showed him the images,
which he found abhorrent.
Judge Amjad Nawaz said that although the offence passed the custody
threshhold, he was making a three-year community order for Lumber to
receive treatment.
He would be supervised by the probation service for three years and
have to undertake a community sex offender group work programme.
He would have to register as a sex offender for five years and would
be subject to a sexual offences prevention order for the same time.
He was ordered to pay UKP 352 costs.
The judge said that Lumber had been to university and was married, an
advantage many others did not have, and that religion played a major
part in his life.
The youth group which Lumber helped his wife to run was the Sacred
Heart Youth Club, based at the Church of the Sacred Heart and Saint
Catherine of Alexandria, Worcester Road, Droitwich.
After the hearing, a spokeman for the Arch-diocese of Birmingham,
which oversees all catholic churches in Worcestershire, said: "Mr
Lumber has not been involved in any form of youth work in the
Catholic Church since these matters came to light. The Catholic
Church in England and Wales has well developed procedures in place to
protect children and vunerable adults. These matters are always taken
extremely seriously."

50-year-old businessman who raped his daughter for nine years through
her teens into adulthood believing it would bring financial prosperity
to his family.
Kishore Bachhubhai Chauhan, who manufactures and sells radium number
plates for automobiles, was arrested late yesterday night along with his
wife Anjana, 46, a willing accomplice.
Chauhan, a father of two, raped his elder daughter, now 21, repeatedly
for almost a decade on the advice of an astrologer who claimed to
possess tantrik knowledge.
The astrologer, Hasmukh Rathod, was in turn encouraged by Chauhan to
rape both his daughters, the younger being 15 years old. Rathod has also
been taken into custody.
[....]
Chauhan and his wife have been consulting Rathod, who was known to
Anjana before marriage, for 20 years. In June 2000, Rathod told the
couple, at the time going through a rough patch, their financial
prospects would improve if the father had sexual relations with the
elder daughter, then aged 12.
�The girl has said in the complaint that Chauhan and Rathod had sex with
her several times over the last nine years with the knowledge and
consent of Anjana,� said Shashikant Mahavarkar, additional
superintendent of police, Thane.
Maithili Jha, the subdivisional police officer of Mira Road, said the
couple started their sexual relationship with Rathod soon after marriage.
�The Chauhans and Rathod have admitted they were involved in group sex
activities before they began subjecting their elder daughter to sexual
abuse. Rathod chanted mantras before indulging in sex, and most of the
time his Andheri residence was the location for the abuse,� Jha said.
