Sparklebox owner jailed for child porn

The man who runs one of the most popular education resources websites in Britain has been jailed for downloading pictures of child abuse.
Ex teacher Samuel Kinge was jailed for twelve months last week at Worcester Crown Court after admitting downloading 424 indecent images of children.
His web site, Sparklebox.co.uk, has been blocked by many local authorities so it cannot be reached from school computers.
Five years ago, Kinge was sent to prison for similar crimes. Kinge, of Evesham, Worcestershire, was a primary school teacher until he was sentenced to nine months in prison for downloading child abuse images. But after he was released from prison he reinvented himself by announcing his death then changing his name from Daniel to Samuel Kinge.
Three years ago he started Sparklebox which provides colourful learning resources for Foundation and Key Stage 1 children and is widely used by teachers and teaching assistants across the world.
