- Offence
- CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. In 2008, Mr Denford was charged by New Zealand Police with possession of child pornography. The New Zealand Court of Appeal later dismissed the charges after evidence gathered by the Crown was ruled inadmissible and the practitioner was discharged without conviction. In August 2013, the New Zealand Customs Service seized Mr Denford’s laptop for forensic analysis, which revealed that more than 3,800 images had been deleted. 95% of those images were female children or teenage models who were naked or semi-naked and in sexual poses.
