SENIOR DOWNING STREET ADVISER CHARGED WITH DOWNLOADING AND POSSESSING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY

  A key member of British Prime Minister, David Cameron's 'inner circle', Mr Patrick Rock was yesterday accused of hoarding sexual images of naked children. Four months after his arrest and unceremonious resignation from Downing Street, Patrick Rock,63, was charged with possessing 59 indecent images.The Whitehall veteran is also accused of  making indecent photographs of children. He will appear before magistrates next week after a lengthy investigation by specialist investigators at the National Crime Agency [NCA].
    The charges were huge embarrassment for the Prime Minister, who declined to comment on the matter while speaking at a press conference in Brussels 2 days ago. Mr Rock,formerly Deputy Director at the Downing Street policy unit and a protege of Margaret Thatcher was one of Mr Cameron's closest confidantes. Mr Rock was arrested at his flat in Fulham,West London on February 13 after suspicious colleagues called the police.
