Raise The Colours Member Ben Cullen Has Issued A Statement Re Child Images On His Laptop

Raise the Colours member Ben Cullen was in court this week after being found with 78 indecent images of children ranging from category A to C.

Cullen, a leading figure in the flag activist group’s Oxfordshire branch, has now issued the following statement:

Ah, the old “the images aren’t mine” excuse. Seems like the go-to response from people caught with indecent images on their hard drives. Why wouldn’t he have reported the images to police when he saw them on his computer in the first place?

It’s worth noting that Cullen initially refused to give police the password to his laptop, but told them he had bought it new seven years prior, and that no one else used the device.

However, he now claims the laptop had been taken to a computer repair shop in Milton Keynes, and is suggesting that a third party or a second-hand hard drive must have been responsible for the indecent images of children on his computer. I mean, talk about bad luck!

The prosecutor at his trial said Cullen is “rowing back on his police interview statements about the laptop being taken to a computer repair shop” and is now desperately trying to claim that lots of other people must have had access to the laptop.

Sounds pretty guilty to me, but I guess that’s for the courts to decide at the end of the day. The trial resumes next week.
