Ex-AFP officer jailed for child porn

A former Australian Federal Police officer has been sentenced in the ACT Magistrates Court to 14 months in jail for accessing child pornography.

Michael Edward Hatch was one of about 100 people arrested as part of the country's biggest child pornography investigation, Operation Centurion.

The 38-year-old pleaded guilty to downloading 20 images depicting child pornography on his home computer.

Magistrate Karen Fryar identified Hatch as a prisoner-at-risk.

He will be eligible for parole in five months.
