A CONTROVERSIAL internet writer has revealed he has been arrested on suspicion of child porn offences.

Police have refused to reveal why blogger Chris Spivey, 51, from Rochford, was arrested earlier this month.

But the conspiracy theorist, who claims the murder of soldier Lee Rigby was an establishment hoax, has revealed he was arrested on suspicion of possessing indecent images of children and bestiality on his computer.

Grandfather-of-six Spivey insists most of the images, which include Led Zeppelin album cover artwork, are innocent and he has no idea how one “hidden” image of child porn and other images of bestiality got on to his secondhand machine.

Spivey, who has accused several celebrities and high-profile politicians of paedophilia on his website, said: “I’m totally innocent of any crime.

“All I’ve done is expose Government corruption.

“It doesn’t bother me because I know they are going to get nowhere.”

In July, police raided the home Spivey shares with his daughter and grandson, arrested him on suspicion of harassment via social media in relation to posts about Drummer Lee Rigby and seized computer equipment.

Officers rearrested the former tattoo artist on Monday, October 6 – he claims over the images allegedly found on the machines.

Spivey has filed an official complaint over his July arrest, claiming police lacked the power to raid his home without a search warrant signed by a magistrate.

The Echo asked police to explain the nature of the two arrests and confirm the offence of which Spivey is accused, but the force failed to respond.
