University IT worker denies sexually assaulting young girl
University IT worker denies sexually assaulting young girl Kerry Price denies a total of 15 offences Kerry Price (Image: John Myers) A university computer expert has denied sexually assaulting a young girl, saying the alleged incidents simply did not happen. Kerry Price has also denied downloading indecent photographs of children saying the images were automatically transferred onto his phone when he plugged it into an old computer left over from his former career running a computer repair shop. It is the prosecution case that 52-year-old Price began sexually abusing the victim when she was aged five or six by kissing her and that matters then progressed to him touching the child's genitals and breasts both under and over her clothing and underwear. The offending is said to have happened on multiple occasions and continued into the girl's teenage years. Price is also alleged to have secretly taken dozens of pictures of the female without her knowledge, including pictures of her in a bikini and a so-called "upskirting" photo, and of possessing indecent images of children found on his Samsung Galaxy S10 phone. Swansea University IT technician Price denies a total of 15 offences and is on trial at Swansea Crown Court. Giving evidence from the witness box the defendant denied the alleged sexual assaults ever took place. As defence barrister Ian Wright took the defendant through each allegation Price denied it had happened and he denied touching the female sexually. He did, however, admit kissing the female when she was 16 and admitted kissing her breasts and backside when she was 17 or 18 – all, he said, with the female's consent. Article continues below The defendant was then asked about the indecent photographs found on his phone. Price explained that after working for BT and then Ericsson he had studied for a higher national diploma in computing in Neath Port Talbot College before opening his own computer repair business called PC Doctor in Ystradgynlais which he said he ran for around a decade. He said he subsequently started a new computer repair shop in Bridgend and then in Dunvant in Swansea which he ran until getting a job at Swansea University in 2018. In response to questions from the defence barrister the defendant said after the business closed he took the remaining unclaimed devices home and later set about trying to identify their owners by looking through them for any documents or other identifying content.

Price said during the course of doing the checks in his garage at home one day he plugged his phone into a computer to charge it and saw files were being automatically transferred across. He said when he saw what was happening he pulled the plug and that when he saw the nature of pictures he deleted them from the gallery on his phone. The defendant was asked about an incident when he was a running his repair business in Ystradgynlais when he had found indecent images on a customer's computer and alerted police. The owner of the computer was subsequently convicted of possessing the material with Price giving evidence in court. The defendant was asked why he didn't tell the police about finding the second batch of indecent images on the old computer in his garage and said he didn't know who the device belonged to, adding: "I had a family to think about, a good job at the uni. I wanted nothing more to do with them – I wanted to move on". The defendant was also asked about internet searches made on his phone using terms such as "teen girls beach topless" and "naughty schoolgirl nude" and said he had used Google and had only been looking for material involving 18- and 19-year-olds. Asked by Judge Paul Thomas KC whether his searches had ever turned up images involving younger teenagers, for example aged 13 or 14 Price replied "never" adding: "They were always of age". In response to questions from prosecution barrister Helen Randall, Price denied deliberately downloading indecent images onto his phone. Asked why someone with experience in IT matters would plug his phone into a random unknown computer the defendant said: "I just plugged it in." The barrister put it to the defendant that on plugging in his phone into the computer he would have been asked via a prompt whether he trusted the computer and asked him why he would trust an unknown computer. The defendant replied: "An oversight on my part. A stupid mistake." The barrister asked the defendant why the computer would automatically start transferring indecent images onto his phone and Price replied: "I just plugged it in and it started copying over." Price said he later deleted the images but accepted he did not do that immediately. Miss Randall put it to the defendant that he had a sexual interest in children, which Price rejected. The barrister put it to the defendant that he sexually assaulted his victim from a young age, which Price again rejected. She also put it to the defendant that he had secretly taken photographs of the female for his own sexual gratification and again Price said no. Article continues below The court heard Price has no previous convictions but has a caution for common assault and criminal damage from 2006. The caution relates to an incident when Price punched the man his long-term partner was having an affair with after finding them together at home. Kerry Price, of Tan y Farteg, Ystradgynlais, denies a total of 15 counts of sexual assault of a child under 13, causing or inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity, sexual assault, making indecent images, possession of indecent images, voyeurism, and recording an image under clothing. The trial continues.

Debenhams slashes £55 off 'exceptional' 2-in-1 fan shoppers call 'best purchase'
The Pro Breeze OmniAir 41" 2-in-1 Bladeless Tower Fan and Air Purifier has been reduced to £124.99 in the Debenhams sale — and shoppers are loving it The Pro Breeze OmniAir 41" 2-in-1 Bladeless Tower Fan and Air Purifier has been hailed as the 'best purchase so far' this summer by shoppers. And it's now available at a reduced price at Debenhams where it is usually priced at £180 but is now being sold for £124.99 in the deal — saving consumers £55. Hailed as the 'top bladeless fan for the price', this deal from Debenhams beats the prices of the same model at Pro Breeze and Robert Dyas, allowing shoppers to stay cool during the heatwave without breaking the bank. The fan also doubles as an air purifier, which could be beneficial for those suffering from hay fever and allergies. Moreover, the device can be used throughout the year, providing even more value for money. The offer has proven so popular that two colours of the fan have already sold out (black and grey), but the white version remains available. Android fans rush to buy Samsung Galaxy S10 for £90 off in online deal Haircare brand ghd launch four new tools that make curls 'last all day' The tower fan utilises air stream cooling technology to generate a steady air flow, combined with HEPA13 filters to eliminate 99% of dust, pollen, odours and pollutants from the air. It offers five operating modes and ten fan speeds, catering to all conditions. Other tower fans currently on sale include the GoveeLife Tower Fan, reduced to £119.98 from £149.99 at Amazon, and the Shark FlexBreeze Desk Fan, discounted to £99.99 from its original price of £149.99 at Currys. The one to 12 hour timing feature on the Pro Breeze allows it to be tailored throughout the day. This allows users to drift off in a chilled room without worrying about the device operating overnight. Additionally, the fan is claimed to operate silently and boast 65-degree oscillation. One shopper remarked: "Quiet and powerful, several functions including a timer. " A second customer shared similar sentiments, stating: "It's quiet and really such a useful product, purifies the air quality in the room as well." Nevertheless, the air cleaning feature fell short for one reviewer who said: "Great fan and heater. Both work well, and they are not too loud on the low settings. @The reason I only gave 3 stars is I brought this for the air purifier as I get itchy nose/throat at night and I was hoping the air purifier would stop this, but unfortunately it's not changed a thing, so I'm unsure if it really works." This contrasted with another shopper's experience, who gushed: "Beautiful tower fan, better than the actual photo, and works wonders. Bigger than I thought, which is great for my needs, reported the Express. They added it: "Reaches distance on low speed. Exceptional. Recommend to everyone looking for a combination of 2-in-1 cooling/air purifier 100%"

Bold new T-Mobile offer aims to solve company's biggest problem
T-Mobile has scored some wins lately, as Ookla, a leader in connectivity intelligence, declared that the "uncarrier" had the Best Network based on a large-scale U.S.-based network test. The company also revealed in its Q1 earnings report in April that its postpaid net customer additions of 1.3 million represented both its best-ever Q1 and the best in the industry. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter However, this doesn't mean all is well at T-Mobile. The tally of 495,000 postpaid customers added during the first quarter was 6% lower than the number of postpaid customers who signed up during the same period in 2024. Even more concerning for the company is a mass exodus of current customers, likely in light of moves such as raising prices even for legacy subscribers, and the company allegedly obscuring true costs of plans by excluding taxes. The substantial number of customers leaving the company resulted in T-Mobile's customer churn increasing by five basis points year-over-year. Now, as customers flee, T-Mobile is rolling out a new offer that current users may just want to take advantage of. Those who sign up, though, should know that T-Mobile may have some ulterior motives in making the deal. With T-Mobile and other wireless carriers largely eliminating contracts that used to ensure a steady subscriber base, T-Mobile now has to solve the problem of departing customers. The company's new offer could be just the ticket. T-Mobile is targeting current customers who are not financing devices, and under the terms of the new deal, those who have an old phone can save up to $830 on a new flagship phone. Related: T-Mobile finally brings back long-awaited feature While this deal does require trade-in of an old device, the company is very flexible regarding which phone models can be turned in. In fact, some very old phones, including the Pixel 7, the OnePlus 9 Pro, the iPhone 11, and the Samsung Galaxy S10 will all count to get existing customers the $830 deal. Not only will T-Mobile accept old phones, but it also does not matter if the phone is broken. It's not every day that a mobile phone carrier offers such a bargain to existing, rather than new, customers. T-Mobile's amazing offer to existing customers may seem generous, but of course, the company has an ulterior motive in giving an $830 upgrade at no cost to customers and to customers with devices that are practically antiques. The savings come in the form of statement credits over a two-year period of time. Although this is a common method of structuring free phone deals, it means that those who sign up are going to be locking themselves into staying with the "uncarrier" for at least two years. Related: T-Mobile users angry as 'lifetime' benefit gets phased out This, of course, is exactly what T-Mobile wants, and it's the reason why the company is offering such a great deal. If customers who are currently not tied to the company decide to take advantage of the offer, they are less likely to leave, and T-Mobile will be on its way to fixing its customer churn issue. More Retail: Walmart CEO sounds alarm on a big problem for customersTarget makes a change that might scare Walmart, CostcoTop investor takes firm stance on troubled retail brandWalmart and Costco making major change affecting all customers This bold offer is just part of T-Mobile's efforts to make sure it keeps the customers it has. There are reports that T-Mobile is also considering switching from allowing consumers to finance phones over 24 months to allowing them to do so over 36 months. For now, though, current customers who are planning to stick with T-Mobile for two years anyway and who are not currently financing a phone may want to explore this new deal.
