Robyn Williams was sacked and given community service after being sent unsolicited video via WhatsApp
An appeal by a decorated former police chief against her conviction for having a child abuse video on her phone has been refused by the court of appeal.
The former superintendent Robyn Williams was convicted in November 2019 after being sent an unsolicited video via WhatsApp of a child being abused, despite never viewing the images. The prosecution accepted she had no sexual interest in children, but she was sentenced to 200 hours of community service for possession of an indecent image.
