Former New South Wales deputy crown prosecutor Patrick Power has been struck off the roll of legal practitioners after his conviction for child pornography.
The 55-year-old was convicted after pleading guilty to downloading explicit material from the internet.
He was originally sentenced to a non-parole period of eight months but this was reduced on the grounds the former prosecutor had to serve the sentence in an isolation unit.
He spent six months in an isolation unit at Long Bay jail and was released in January this year.
Following the conviction, the NSW Bar Association removed his practicing certificate.
Today, the association has been successful in having Mr Power permanently removed from the state's roll of legal practitioners.
The court heard he was guilty of professional misconduct, and not a fit and proper person to remain on the roll.
Mr Power has also been ordered to pay court costs.
