3 British judges sacked for watching porn at work

LONDON -- British officials say three judges who looked at pornography on their work accounts have been fired.

The Judicial Conduct Investigations Office says the material they viewed didn't involve illegal content, but viewing it at work was "wholly unacceptable" and an "inexcusable misuse" of their official accounts.

The body said Tuesday that District Judge Timothy Bowles, Immigration Judge Warren Grant and Deputy District Judge Peter Bullock have been removed from office after an investigation.

A fourth judge who was also found to have viewed similar material at work resigned before the inquiry had concluded.
