Two people who worked for a security company have been jailed for illegally accessing footage of the autopsy of Argentine football player Emiliano Sala, leading to it being circulated online.
Swindon Crown Court today sentenced Sherry Bray, the director of Wiltshire-based Camera Security Services Limited for 14 months imprisonment, and her employee, Christopher Ashford, to 4 months.
Prosecutors said Sherry Bray accessed the closed-circuit television camera footage from a mortuary in Bournemouth a day after Sala's body was recovered on February 6. He had been missing since the single-engine Piper Malibu aircraft carrying him and pilot David Ibbotson crashed near the Channel Island of Guernsey on January 21.
The 28-year-old Sala, who had played for French club Nantes, was traveling to join his new team, Cardiff, in Wales.
