Judge catches clerk watching PORNOGRAPHY during rape trial he said was 'boring'

Judge catches clerk watching PORNOGRAPHY during rape trial he said was 'boring'
Clerk looked at obscene images as rape victim gave harrowing evidence
Judge spots him looking at filthy pictures during court proceedings

A court clerk who watched hardcore pornography during a rape trial 'because he was bored' was caught looking at the explicit material right under the nose of the judge.

Debasish Majumder, 54, accessed the obscene images while the victim gave her harrowing evidence at Inner London Crown Court.

He looked at photographs of topless women being gagged and couples engaged in sexual acts, Kingston Crown Court was told.

However the judge, who was sitting directly behind him, spotted the filthy pictures as the prosecution evidence was being given.

It would have been incredibly stupid to do this in a courtroom for a jaywalking case.
to do this in a rape case brings the level of stupid to an almost unimaginable point.

society. I guess crap like this always went on ... but it seems more prevalent today, maybe just more easily accessed, or maybe it's getting easier to light up dark corners of our society. What a slap in the face to the judicial system and the victim.
