Tory Liaision Officer caught with Kiddie Porn.

Tory Party Liaison Manager on the London Assembly, Douglas Campbell, who's job included running the Tory GLA website – Arrested for allegedly downloading child porn. He is currently suspended while the Police investigation continues.

Douglas Campbell, a former Greater London Authority (GLA) official was suspended on full pay after being arrested by police tracking internet paedophiles.

Campbell, who was in his 30s at the time of his arrest, earned £30,000 working for the Conservative group at City Hall, was suspected of accessing child pornography on the internet.

Campbell was arrested late 2002, but was not immediately charged. He was released on police bail and was suspended while the inquiry continued.

His job as the Conservative's member liaison manager includes running the party's GLA web site. A GLA spokesman said "A member of staff has been arrested and released on police bail".

"For legal reasons the GLA cannot discuss the identity of the individual in any further detail."

Early 2003 it emerged that another GLA official, Yusef Azad, who helped scrutinise the mayor's work at City Hall, had been arrested as part of the Operation Ore child pornography inquiry. He was bailed to return a month later.

More than 1,600 men were arrested during the inquiry, including two officers involved with the Soham murder inquiry and rock star Pete Townshend, who insisted he was just researching the subject. Operation Ore was set up after the FBI sent British police details of 2,000 credit cards and emails traced back to the UK as part of its own Candyman inquiry.

Campbell was later sentenced to three years imprisonment.
