August 31st, 2011 - 12:27 am ICT by IANSLondon, Aug 30 (IANS) A British father, who spied on his teenaged son for a TV show about sex, has been convicted himself after being found possessing pornographic pictures of children.
Fortynine-year-old Richard Watson had appeared on BBC3’s Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents programme, The Sun reported.
Watson and his wife Barbara used hidden cameras to keep an eye on their 18-year-old lad on holiday in Ibiza island in Spain, and watch him enjoy a sexy lapdance.
Watson even appeared shocked by the antics, spluttering: “Good God! Can you do that?”
But when cops raided Watson’s home in Workington, Cumbria county in North West England, after a tip-off, he was found to be keeping a stash of nearly 250 indecent images of children under his possession.
He admitted 12 charges of making indecent images of children. He has been put on the sex offenders register for five years.
Watson, who is banned from working with kids, said: “There are worse things going on in the world. It’s been a nightmare for my family, I can’t get any lower than this.”
“It’s my son I’m concerned about - I don’t want his life ruined because of this.”
He said he only looked at the snaps on his laptop out of curiosity, Carlisle Crown Court heard.
