Child porn cop launches appeal

Karen Hart
A GEELONG police officer who received a suspended jail sentence for possessing child pornography will appeal next week.
Senior Constable Alan Crane, 41, will appear before Geelong County Court after the case was adjourned yesterday pending further reports.
In February Crane received a threemonth suspended sentence and a $6000 fine in Geelong Magistrates’ Court.
The court heard police seized computers and CDs with tens of thousands of pornographic images in a raid on Crane’s home.
Geelong County Court Judge Leslie Ross extended Crane’s bail and adjourned the hearing until Wednesday.
