A pedophile child protection officer who worked as a 'specialist' in 'protecting' children in two councils, was suspended and eventually fired after authorities discovered a child porn dungeon of more than 100 indecent images on his hard drive.Social worker Jonathan Ward had a hard drive full of child pornography but also kept bags of girls nickers as 'trophies' at his home.Authorities raided Ward's home after a 'tip off', but despite him being fired from his job, he was spared jail.The Mirror reports: A child protection officer has been sacked after police searched his ­computer and found images of children being ­sexually abused.  Social worker Jonathan Ward had hoarded more than 100 of the indecent images of children on his hard drive.The creep also kept a bag of girls’ knickers as a sordid trophy in his home.The 46-year-old, who had worked at specialist child protection units for two councils, was suspended from his job and then fired – but spared jail.Ward worked for Surrey County Council and had previously been with Brighton and Hove City Council in East Sussex. Police raided his home last December after a tip-off.They found the abuse images and underwear alongside a collection of adult porn DVDs.Ward admitted six counts of making indecent images of children and was handed a seven-month jail term, suspended for two years, and 120 hours’ community service. He was also made the subject of five-year restrictions on contact with kids and internet use.Judge Paul Tain told Ward at Hove Trial Centre: “People who support the degradation of children through downloading images participate in the crime and participate in the abuse.”Surrey County Council said after the case: “Mr Ward was suspended as soon as these allegations came to light and has since been dismissed. The offences are unrelated to his work.”Brighton and Hove Council, for whom he worked from 1999 to 2015, said: “We are shocked and saddened but would like to emphasise that the offences are not connected to his employment with us.”Sussex Police said: “None of the images, taken from the internet, are believed to be of children known to Ward and there is no evidence of physical contact offending.”"Please don't hate me": Distraught teenager's letter to nan after her grandad killed himself when she accused him of rape Ward, who lives in Hove, would not comment.Last month former child protection officer Robert Branney, an ex-Devon and Cornwall cop, was convicted of having abuse images twice in a year.The 70-year-old from St Austell, Cornwall, was spared jail last time.But after being caught again with images of girls as young as six he faces prison when sentenced on August 25 at Truro Crown Court.The district judge told him ahead of sentencing: “I have asked myself how you could sink so low.”
