have served the

Queen

in the

Household Cavalry

for

four years

The former employee from

Hopton in Staffordshire

studied

law

at the

actions were

exposed when a

six-year-old girl

turned

to the

police

.

Investigators of the

Unit were subsequently during a house search

voyeuristic pictures

and

videos

of

minors

on the computer of the

students

.

In addition, according to the Mirror, another six-year-old girl testified against the man.

The

ex-bodyguard has

now been

sentenced

to six

years imprisonment

in

two cases

for

sexual assault

, in one case for child pornographic

photos

and in

cooperated

fully in the investigation.

The
