Dr Peter Smith convicted of downloading child porn Could continue to give ‘guest lectures’ at Cambridge University

A Cambridge University don convicted of downloading child pornography could be allowed to carry on lecturing.

Dr Peter Smith was arrested after an international police investigation into an illegal website based in Luxembourg showed he had been a customer.

He was spared jail last month only after a judge ruled that, as he had been diagnosed with cancer in 2005, a custodial sentence would not be appropriate.
