Lausanne, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – A former senior manager of RSR, Swiss public radio, who appealed charges of hard core pornography, lost his case Monday 16 November. He was instead given a suspended sentence and a fine for 10 days of CHF100 a day for having hard-core pornography on his office computer after the judge ruled that the man had voluntarily downloaded 13 images of 12- to 13-year-old girls involved in sexual activities.
The man was at the centre of a case that drew much media attention in 2008, when a computer programmer at the station was fired. The computer employee had uncovered the images in 2005. A total of more than 300 images were found, but the charges were brought over the hard-core ones.
