A handyman who ruined a school caretaker's life by planting child pornography on his computer was jailed for 12 years today.

Neil Weiner launched the "wickedly evil and vile plot" hoping to get Eddie Thompson sacked so that he could be promoted.

Weiner, 40, was convicted of perverting the course of justice and two counts of possessing indecent images of children at the Old Bailey.

Judge David Paget told him: "What you did to a decent and honest man was in my view wicked.

"It is difficult to imagine a more cunning, deceitful or warped course of conduct than yours in this case, or a more malicious one."

The court heard how he sent police a CD containing indecent images of children saying they came from Mr Thompson's laptop.

Hundreds more pictures were later found on the computer and the caretaker was arrested in October 2006.

He told police he had been set up by colleagues who did not like him but it was eight months before he was told no further action would be taken.

When the details of the allegations were leaked by Weiner to a local newspaper, Mr Thompson and his wife became afraid to leave the house, after he received threats and they were spat at in public.

Four years of Mr. Thompson's life were ruined by this creep before he could be formally vindicated with this.

Brr. That's definitely wicked.

I think this is why I am so worried about the sex offender list. There needs to be a stricter criteria for it in some cases. I mean kids.. BOTH minors getting blow jobs or sleeping with each other get put on it! It's as much a tool for a DA to get leverage on someone as it is for what it was designed for.

It's a very dangerous thing. It shouldn't be absolute. Of course I'm sure that most of the folks on the list merit it.

BUT what this guy did is.... sheer EVIL. I mean there is other ways to frame a guy.. but that was just.. WRONG

...There are no words to describe just how foul and disgusting this guy is. To use such methods to destroy a man's rep, just so you can get a promotion, is more than disturbing. He deserves more than merely 12 years in jail for such an act, nevermind having the photos in the first place.

Good sentence, though I wouldn't shed a tear had he been sent away longer. Man, that's just vile and evil. Good to see justice after all was doled out. Messed up!
