Scottish man held on child porn charges

Police on the island of Crete, where the 27-year-old man lives with his parents, were tipped off by international authorities, officials said.

Evidence of pornographic activity was found on his computer, police said.

A Greek national was also detained and then released after an initial search of his computer yielded nothing.

A police official said: "They are still searching both men's hard discs for extra evidence. They are checking if they had accessed a website where on-line visitors pay to watch live rapes of children."

In 2007 Greece's conservative government passed a law which imposes sentences of up to life imprisonment for crimes related to child pornography.
