Jon Venables jailed over child porn
July 24, 2010 - 11:06AM
A British court on Friday jailed one of country's most notorious murderers, who killed a two-year-old when he was aged just 10, for downloading and distributing indecent images of children.
Jon Venables, now 27, pleaded guilty to three charges in relation to child pornography at the Old Bailey court in London, appearing by video link from prison, where he has been held since being recalled in February.
Venables and Robert Thompson were given life sentences for the brutal murder of toddler James Bulger in 1993, but the pair were released on licence in 2001 and given secret new identities for their own safety.
The sadistic torture and murder of Bulger caused horror across Britain and fears about attacks on the two killers continue. Only the judge hearing the case on Friday was able to see Venables give his video evidence.
After pleading guilty, the judge sentenced him to two years in jail.
Venables admitted downloading 57 pornographic pictures of children on to his computer between February 2009 and February 2010.
He also admitted distributing indecent photos of children in February this year and distributing 42 images in February 2008.
Bulger's mother, Denise Fergus, was in court to hear his guilty plea.
After the two killers were released a decade ago, nothing more was known about their new lives until police began investigating Venables.
The pictures were found on his computer by accident, after Venables himself alerted the authorities after fearing that his new identity had been compromised, the court heard.
He called a probation officer and was told to gather his belongings, and when the officer arrived he was trying to delete files from his computer and remove the hard drive.
Police examined the computer and found images involving children as young as two. There were also videos featuring young girls being raped and forced to perform oral sex.
The court heard that Venables had previously been arrested in September 2008 over a drunken street fight, and was cautioned for possession of cocaine later that year.

上周五伦敦的Old Bailey法院逮捕了一名叫做Jon Venables的杀人犯，罪名是下载和发布儿童色情照片。Jon Venables是英国最为臭名昭著的杀人犯，在他十岁的时候他就曾经杀害过一个只有两岁的婴儿。
Jon Venables现年二十七岁，从今年二月份被警方传唤以来一直被关押在监狱。他被指控非法传播儿童色情图片。Venables和Robert Thompson在1993年年仅十岁的时候曾被判无期徒刑，罪名是谋杀一名婴儿。但是在2001年这两人获得假释，并且出于对他们安全的考虑，这两人更换了姓名。
十几年前这两个谋杀犯对一名婴儿进行了性虐待和折磨最终杀害了这名婴儿，这起案件曾经震惊英国。由于担心这两名罪犯会受到人身攻击，所以周五的庭审只有当庭的法官可以通过视频看到Venables本人。Venables对犯罪事实供认不讳，被宣判两年监禁。Venables承认在零九年二月到一零年二月间下载了五十七张儿童色情图片。他还承认分别在今年二月份和零八年二月份发布儿童不雅照。
当年被害婴儿的母亲旁听了这次宣判。十年前Venables和Thompson被假释后，一直没有关于他们的任何消息直到Venables通知警方他的身份信息有可能被盗用。然后警方很偶然的在Venables的电脑里发现了这些儿童色情图片。
当时Venables打电话给一名实习警官，这名警官要求他收集一下他的私人物品。当警官到达的时候他正在试图删除电脑里的文件。警察检查了他的电脑，发现了一些不雅的照片和视频。其中有些图片中的儿童只有两岁，有些视频还包含女孩被强奸和被逼迫发生性行为的内容。
Venables可谓是劣迹斑斑，零八年九月因为酗酒斗殴被拘留。去年又因为非法持有可卡因被警告。
