==Controversy==

Liam Gorhan was arrested on (date unknown){{cn}} after officers found 1,335 [[W:child porn|child porn]] photos and videos on his computer during a house sweep when they arrested his father, '''Stephen Gorhan''', a former volunteer police constable, for also child porn.<ref>[https://dastardlydads.blogspot.com/2011/04/father-and-son-child-porn-cases.html ''Father and son child porn cases 'unrelated': REALLY?''] post on [https://dastardlydads.blogspot.com Dastardly Dads]. Retrieved December 20, 2019.</ref> Lian Gorham was caught because detectives investigating the allegations against his father had seized all the computers in the house – including his own personal laptop – and then found the images on his hard drive.

Police said that although while both men lived at the same flat in [[W:Totland Close, Farnborough|Totland Close, Farnborough]], and both were caught with the indecent images on their computers, it appeared that there was no connection between the two offenses.

When interviewed by police, Gorhan had admitted downloading the images but said he had then realized the seriousness of what he had done and tried to "distance" himself from his actions by deleting the files. '''Peter Asteris''', defender, said the seriousness of Gorhan’s actions had been brought home to him since he and his family had been forced to leave their home in Totland Close and were currently living in temporary accommodation. “He simply wishes to say he is sorry and it will not happen again,” Mr. Asteris said.

Judge Barnett said that the offenses Gorhan admitted were "serious":

{{q|Anyone who indulges in the downloading of this sort of material – particularly the [[W:COPINE scale|level four material]] – will find themselves on the wrong end of a prison sentence because society understandably is concerned as to this sort of exploitation,” the judge said.

Having said that, your client has no previous convictions, he is young, and it seems to me that if there is to be a prison sentence, it should be suspended.}}

Lian was finally sentenced on (date unknown){{cn}} to just four months in prison, suspended for a year, while his father was jailed for eight months. The judge also ordered that Gorhan’s laptop computer containing the illegal images should be destroyed, and told him he would have to sign onto the [[W:Violent and Sex Offender Register|Violent and Sex Offender Register]] ('''ViSOR''') for five years.{{cn}}
