Social Workers Suspended In Computer Porn Probe

Four senior social workers responsible for child protection are at the centre of a computer porn investigation.

It is understood the men, all managers with Devon Social Services, were suspended last month over allegations of ‘inappropriate material’ on their office PCs.

None of the allegations is thought to involve illegal images and police have not been called in.

Devon County Council refused to name the men. However one of them, Des Keegan, confirmed he was under investigation, saying: ‘I haven’t done anything illegal.’

Devon County Council said: ‘We have suspended some staff while an investigation takes place.’
