Public servant in pornography case fined

The items were found on his phone by his wife who placed a complaint with police.

The 58-year-old man (identity withheld) was sentenced to three months in jail on Tuesday, however that sentence was suspended.

 He was instead fined K700. The man was initially released on a K1000 police bail after he was arrested last year.

The court ordered that his penalty fine be deducted from the K1000 bail monies he paid earlier. He will be refunded K300 while the remaining will be retained to pay for the fine.
