The 1992 founder of UK ISP Demon Internet, Cliff Stanford, whom yesterday pleaded guilty to the charge of unlawful email interception, has been given a six month prison sentence suspended for two years and fined £20,000:
Stanford plans to appeal. A charge of conspiring to blackmail was dropped.
Facing the same charges at Southwark Court was private investigator George Liddell, 46, from Nether Winchendon, Buckinghamshire, who received the same sentence as Stanford.
The pair admitted the interception relating to communications at Redbus Interhouse plc between 22 June 2002 and 18 March 2003.More @
