The wife of an NHS hospital doctor handed over his laptop to police after discovering child abuse images on the machine while trying to watch an episode of Game of Thrones.
Police arrested Dr Christopher Ball-Nossa after his wife saw a file name called ‘child porn 3-16’ on the device.
Officers found more than 1,500 indecent images – including 22 movies and 196 photographs of the most serious, Category A type.
