Cliff Stanford, the founder of Demon Internet and Redbus, pleaded guilty to intercepting emails belonging to John Porter, son of Dame Shirley Porter and former chairman of Redbus. Co-defendant George Liddell, a former employee of Redbus, also pleaded guilty to the same charge. Both men were sentenced to six months imprisonment, suspended for two years. Stanford was also fined £20,000 and ordered to pay £7,000 towards prosecution costs. The men were charged under the UK's Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (Ripa) 2000, which is the first time that anyone has been prosecuted under the law.
