Hard drive containing child abuse images held in PCC's safe for 14 years
A hard drive containing indecent images of children was not used as evidence against a former lord mayor of Leeds as it was kept in a police commissioner’s safe for 14 years.
The hard drive belonged to Neil Taggart, who was jailed in 2017 after pleading guilty to charges relating to the possession of indecent images and videos of children on his computer equipment.
A police whistleblower flagged the hard drive’s existence to the BBC in September 2017. The BBC then sent freedom of information (FoI) requests between October 2017 and January 2018 to the police and crime commissioner (PCC) requesting information about the hard drive. These were refused on the grounds that a West Yorkshire police investigation was ongoing.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) closed the case on 28 September 2018 and from this point the PCC could have disclosed the relevant information.
The PCC gave a detailed report to the BBC after a fourth FoI was sent last December. The BBC’s investigation found that the hard drive had been in the safe since 2003, but was not disclosed by the office of West Yorkshire’s PCC until after Taggart pleaded guilty.
Taggart held several high-profile roles in West Yorkshire over many decades. He served as a Leeds city councillor between 1980 and 2014 and was lord mayor of Leeds between 2003 and 2004.
Taggart, who died in December, also served as chairman of the West Yorkshire police authority between 1998 and May 2003.
Mark Burns-Williamson, the current West Yorkshire PCC, also served as the police authority’s chairman, taking over a month after Taggart left.
Burns-Williamson told the BBC: “I think it [the hard drive] was within a secure safe within the police authority. That transferred over to the police and crime commissioner’s office but, certainly, I was not aware that it existed.
“Subsequently some images have been found on there, much later on, of course, and I can only assume he [Taggart] knew full well that was the case, and that’s why he asked for it to be stored. Of course, I’m sorry and I absolutely regret the fact that this hard drive existed and wasn’t discovered until 2017.”
Taggart was jailed for 32 months in July 2017 after admitting three charges of making indecent images of children, three charges of distributing indecent photographs of children, one charge of possessing prohibited images of children and one charge of possession of extreme pornographic images.
The offences were committed between 2007 and 2016, according to the Yorkshire Post, and did not relate to the hard drive.

‘The View’s’ Joy Behar Takes Time Off Due to Coronavirus Concerns
Joy Behar is taking time off as a co-host of “The View” as a safety precaution against coronavirus, Variety has learned.
Behar, 77, announced her decision Thursday during a pre-taped episode of “The View” that will air Friday. Neither she nor any of the staff members that work on the ABC daytime talk show have tested positive for the coronavirus. But Behar has decided that she’s staying home for now — at the urging of her daughter — to keep herself safe from the threat of getting sick.
“I’m in a higher risk group because of my age, but I’m perfectly healthy,” Behar says on the show. “I don’t look my age, but I’m actually up there. The number makes me dizzy.”
Behar will not be on “The View” next week, and then she’ll decide when to return after that.
The remaining co-hosts of “The View” – which includes Whoopi Goldberg, Meghan McCain and Sunny Hostin – will continue to appear on the talk show. This week, “The View” followed many other daytime and late-night programs that stopped allowing a live studio audience at tapings.

The president of US Soccer steps down as he apologizes for legal document's language
(CNN)The president of the US Soccer Federation has stepped down, days after the organization released its response to the gender equality lawsuit brought by the US Women's National Soccer team.
Carlos Cordeiro, who has been president of the organization for the last 13 years, announced his decision Thursday in a news release.
"My one and only mission has always been to do what is best for our Federation, and it has become clear to me that what is best right now is a new direction," Cordeiro's statement said.
"The arguments and language contained in this week's legal filing caused great offense and pain, especially to our extraordinary Women's National Team players who deserve better."
Cordeiro called the wording "unacceptable and inexcusable," and regretted not fully reviewing the filing before it was submitted.
