Essex child abuse detectives guilty of misconduct
Two police officers who scuppered child abuse investigations through laziness have been found guilty of misconduct in a public office.
Essex Police Det Con Lee Pollard, 47, was convicted of two counts while his partner Det Con Sharon Patterson, 49, was found guilty of one count.
Patterson was found not guilty of one count and the Old Bailey jury was unable to reach verdicts in a further charge against each.
The pair will be sentenced on 3 May.
The allegations against the officers, who now live together in Colchester, came to light when performance reviews were carried out into the child abuse investigation team in which they worked in.
'Beyond incompetence'
Prosecutor Alexandra Healy QC had told the jury the motivation of the pair - who at the time were having an affair - appeared to be "a combination of laziness, self-preservation and a cynical disdain for complainants in child abuse investigations"."
Or following guide lines are they members of common purpose?
had the training using NLP to convince them some are far more worthy and better than others, notice the two tear system at work in the UK, this is in part due to common purpose brainwashing.
it is policy that a full public enquiry take place in to who backs them, who is involved at what level in the police management and what is in the training and what affect it has had.
And if you turned it into a forbritain aggregation @cheetah wouldn't bother you and down vote you...
