Official quits over porn DVD

LEICESTER, England, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- An English county council official resigned after a DVD with pornography he was using to spice up his marriage was found on a work laptop.

David Sprason, a member of the Conservative Party and former deputy leader of the Leicestershire County Council, said using his work computer to watch "She Likes It Rough" was an error in judgment, The Sun reported. But he said he was not ashamed.

"There was nothing dodgy about it," he said. "It's the kind of thing that's easily bought in an adult shop."

Sprason and his wife, Sue, a member of the Hinckley and Bosworth Council, said they used the laptop because their DVD player had stopped working. They forgot to remove it and it was found while the county IT department was trying to repair the laptop after a crash.

"We're a middle-aged couple who love each other as much as we did when we were in our 20s," Sue Sprason said. "When you get to middle age, you need a bit of assistance."
