Lol wtf. She was sent the video by a social worker and never clicked it. She was being asked to investigate the video.
You know those police chefs are racist as fuck.
What a fucking clown show. Horrible. Guess we need to send child porn to them so they have to all step down? Is that the new terrorism?
Society sometimes…
A questionable decision to attempt to fire her for a unsolicited message being sent.
If see was fired it would open up a whole new way of abusing the system.
it looks like good intentions gone wrong/ over zealous HR trying to use her as a method of improving the forces image.
Her sister shouldn’t have forwarded it to her and she should have given her sister the department’s child protection unit.
That story is bizarre from the beginning to the end, and I am not sure which I am more disturbed by.
A Met officer failing to report Child Sexual Abuse Materials (CSAM), especially (if as suggested here) if it was sent to her for help/investigation, or the court saying it’s OK for the Met to keep such an officer on the books.
I also can’t wrap my head around what the sister’s boyfriend was thinking either. *Distributing* CSAM? Cretin.
Why on earth was she even charged with possessing child abuse imagery? I would have expected the prosecution service to understand context and realise this wasn’t a case worth pursuing.
> The officer, who had enjoyed a glittering 36-year career, told the Old Bailey in 2019 that she did not ask for the 54-second video nor had she looked at it.
Her sister sent her a video along with a note along the lines of “This is abuse, can you help her?”
And she didn’t even look at the video or have any indication as to the contents?
I find that hard to believe.
The new Commissioner talks about drumming out bad officers, and yet this literal sex offender still has her job. Ridiculous.
A senior police officer who didn’t bother to report a video of a five year old being sexually abused being allowed to keep her job. What an absolute farce. Throw in the race card being played and this feels like black privilege – people giving in because they’re too scared of being called racist.
That’s quite a clickbait-y title you’ve got there.
There is zero way someone should get fired for something a trusted third party sent them unrequested in a chat app.
She had an exemplary 30+ year career and has obviously pissed someone off, classic case of looking for any excuse to ruin someone’s life…
Disgusting really. She clearly should be off the force.
She absolutely behaved in a way that you’d expect any police officer should be fired for. Let alone a high ranking one who you’d expect to be held to higher standards.
