A SENIOR police officer has been found guilty of possessing child pornography.

In Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court today, deputy chief magistrate Paul Cloran found suspended superintendent Vivian Rex Little, 52, guilty of possessing two pornographic images of children in January 2006.

Kathy Frost, his ex-wife and a local court registrar, said she found the images stored on one of 32 computer floppy disks in a box marked “Rex Personal” on January 23, 2006.

The couple had separated and at that time he had been staying at the family home at Lake Macquarie, after returning from a posting at Broken Hill.

Cloran accepted Ms Frost’s evidence that she had found the 32 computer disks in a box stored in a cupboard in a bedroom occupied by Little.

The box also contained nude pictures of herself, pornographic images of other women, pornographic magazines, DVDs, lubricating gel, vibrator and condoms.

Frost gave evidence that she was shocked when she saw that one image included a child and was called “mother and daughter”.
