A Labour Party mayor and primary school teacher has been arrested for possessing child rape photographs.
Graham Pearson, 54, was arrested at his Cherry Crescent home in Balladen, Rawtenstall, for having a stash of violent rape photographs of very young children.
He was bailed to return to Rawtenstall police station while officers considered whether charges should be brought against him.
But Mr Pearson, who is a Labour party council leader, was formally cautioned when he attended one of his council appointments.
A Lancashire Police spokesman said: “Lancashire Constabulary have given an adult caution to a 54-year-old man from the Rossendale area for possession of indecent photographs of children.
“We arrested Mr Pearson at his home address.”
When asked about the caution, Mr Pearson said: “I have no comment to make.”
Mr Pearson went missing from his home, and police issued an appeal for his return. His silver Chevrolet car was also said to be missing. But he was later discovered hiding in the Cumbria area.
He was a Hareholme ward councillor and also served as Mayor of Rossendale.
For four years from 1985 he served as a Lancashire county councillor for Rossendale East ward, but stood down prior to the 1989 elections.
He is also a governor at Staghills Nursery and Newchurch CE Primary and, while mayor, worked as a teacher at a primary school in Oldham.
Under Coun Pearson, Labour regained control of Rossendale council in May 2002 after two years of Tory rule.
But the new administration quickly encountered problems after the Audit Commission published a report rating Rossendale as the worst council in the country’.
A spokeswoman for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said two types of cautions can be handed out, either with or without conditions.
She said: “In accordance with Home Office guidelines the police have the power to caution people without referring the matter to the CPS.
“They can also refer the matter to us and we have to consider the circumstances of each individual case to determine what is appropriate.”

acts against children of any age, should carry the maximum jail term for EVERYONE. I’m getting sick and tired of the piece of shit government we have as well as Theresa May for not giving enough power to the police, this country is on the brink of a social collapse as people like me are sick of shit like this, in a matter of time, we will take to the streets and these SCUMBAGS, the people who defend them and the politicians that turn a blind eye will ALL be punished by us! I will gladly do the time to make myself heard. I have kids of my own, and even the slightest hint of someone even trying to look at them funny, I’ll smash them up! It’s time for the people of Britain to take to the streets in numbers, and drag these BASTARDS and those who defend them from their homes and give them the true justice WE believe they should be handed!!!!!
see that the harrow special school governor and labour councillor brian gate has just been put on the sex offenders register. the sex offenders register.. the membership list of PIE members. i bet he subscribed to magpie magazine under the counter at his newsagents.
Theresa May won’t act because the Tories have more than a few skeletons in their own closet, Thatcher’s cabinet was paedophile central.
Have you noticed how May is dragging her heels over investigation into the alleged paedo ring surrounding Thatcher’s government? She knew that, both Sloss and Woolf would be unacceptable to alleged victims. Her plan is to drag it out until after next year’s election, by which time they will have destroyed any incriminating evidence, and, they hope, it will all have blown over.
Politicians are scum, I don’t care what colour of rosette they wear.
