Popoola, 50, played the six minute clip to horrified staff at Newham University
Hospital on her mobile phone in April last year. It depicted a young girl aged
two to three years old performing a sex act on a man in his 20s or 30s.
The day before, Popoola had asked for the film be sent to her via messaging service WhatsApp after being shown it by health care assistant Yaodele Salami, 48.
Colleagues at the hospital in Glen Road, Plaistow, were so shocked by the footage that a student nurse immediately reported it to police who arrested the pair, Snaresbrook Crown Court heard.
In what he described as an “exceptional case”, Judge Martyn Zeidman QC told
Popoola and Salami that they both held a “responsible, important position in a
hospital” and “needed to show high standards of behaviour”.The day before, Popoola had asked for the film be sent to her via messaging service WhatsApp after being shown it by health care assistant Yaodele Salami, 48.

He added:
“It seems that once the image had been received you both sought to use it, not
for sexual pleasure but to demonstrate the evils of the world in which we live.
“Your motive was very different from someone who just does it for sexual purposes.”
Salami, of Ivyhouse Road, Dagenham, was handed a 12-month prison term, suspended for 12 months, for possessing, distributing and showing an indecent image of a child.
Popoola, of Dagenham Avenue, Dagenham, was handed a 14-month sentence for possessing and showing the same image, also suspended for 12 months. Both will also have to sign the sex offenders’ register for 10 years and face the end of their careers.
