Disgraced former cop breached court order after being jailed over indecent images of childrenA disgraced former Coventry policeman breached a sexual harm prevention order almost as soon as he had been released from a sentence for downloading indecent images of children.
Jonathan McNeill bought a new iPad on his release from custody but failed to tell his police offender manager.
It was also discovered he had a laptop, PC tower and a Samsung Tablet, all of which he should have notified police about.
McNeill, 57, of Lavendar Avenue, Coventry, was returned to Warwick Crown Court where he pleaded guilty to four charges of breaching a sexual harm prevention order.
That had been imposed in September last year at Wolverhampton Crown Court where he had been jailed for 15 months after admitting three charges of making indecent images of children.
For the latest offences he was handed a a ten-month prison sentence suspended for two years and ordered to take part in a Maps for Change programme and to do 150 hours of unpaid work.
He avoided jail after the judge was told none of the devices had been used in an attempt to obtain illegal material.
