Thousands of legal pornographic images were found on the computer of British deputy prime minister Damian Green, a detective told BBC. 

Neil Lewis, a former Scotland Yard detective who was involved in the case, said the computer was explored during a 2008 inquiry into government leaks, and thousands of images were found on a desktop.

The first secretary of state is under investigation after Conservative activist and historian Kate Maltby alleged that he behaved inappropriately towards her. Green denied all claims.
