Policeman sentenced over child

A Geelong police officer has received a suspended jail sentence for possessing child pornography.

A joint investigation by the office of Police Integrity (OPI) and the Ethical Standards Department led to the arrest of 41-year-old Senior Constable Alan Crane last year.

The Geelong Magistrates Court heard police raided Crane's Geelong home and seized computers and CDs containing tens of thousands of pornographic images.

The court heard less than 1 per cent of those were of underage girls.

Crane has indicated he will appeal.
