Dad selling owl ornament on eBay accidentally includes porn snaps in the background of listing pics
Antiques dealer Ian Lawton, 61, failed to notice he had photographed the £37 Vintage Beswick Barn Owl in front of his computer screen which had images of naked Asian porn stars
A DAD flogging an ornamental owl on eBay made a right ’owler — when his photo of it accidentally included porn snaps on his laptop.
Antiques dealer Ian Lawton, 61, took six pics of the 7½in figurine and uploaded them.
But the 61-year-old had photographed the £37 Vintage Beswick Barn Owl in front of his computer, which had X-rated videos on its screen, all showing naked Asian porn stars.
Ian was left in a flap when The Sun told him of his blunder yesterday.
He said: “It’s obviously an accident.
"I hadn’t noticed or I wouldn’t have put it on.”
But the married dad of one, of Folkestone, Kent, joked: “It’s nothing dodgy.
"Who doesn’t watch porn?
"I’m sure I’m not the first.”
One customer said: “I bought something from him before and looked to see what else he was selling.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw it.
"He should have been more careful.

“Children could have seen it, so eBay should have spotted it too.”
The listing, which had been online for a month, was removed yesterday after we contacted eBay, whose members must be 18 or over.
A spokesman said: “Thanks for bringing this to our attention.”
