Child porn addict worked at Leatherhead school

A convicted child porn addict worked with computers at a Leatherhead high school for a year.

Simon John Fuller, 27, of Silverdale Avenue, Oxshott, had eceived a three-year community order after pleading guilty to 31 charges of making and possessing indecent images.

Fuller committed his crimes between March 1996 and July 2008 – during which time he worked at Therfield School in Dilston Road, Leatherhead.

A spokesman for Surrey County Council, which issued the statement, said: “We can confirm Simon Fuller worked as an IT technician at the school for one year, during the 2002 to 2003 school year.”

The revelation has sparke concerns among parents about who could be working with children.

One mum, who had a child at the school but did not want to be named, said: “I had heard a rumour that he worked there. They should do more checks before letting them work in schools.”

Fuller, who also worked with children as a sailing instructor, owned close to 60,000 indecent images and was given the community order so he could attend a sex offenders rehabilitation course.
