UK police arrested over phone pornography
Print Edition
Three police officers from Britain’s Diplomatic Protection Group have been arrested on suspicion of exchanging hardcore pornography on their mobile phones, Scotland Yard said yesterday.
The DPG controls access to the prime minister’s Downing Street residence, and Scotland Yard, the police headquarters in London. It also guards embassies in the capital.
“The images identified by the investigation are of an extreme sexual nature, but do not involve children,” said a Scotland Yard spokesman.
The three men were arrested on December 19.
One of the trio has been suspended while the other two have been placed on restricted duties. Their homes were searched.
A fourth officer, who was interviewed on January 8 in connection with the investigation, has also been placed on restricted duties.
The DPG also protects government ministers, former premiers, some former government ministers, and visiting heads of state and government.
The Scotland Yard spokesman said a file had been passed to the state prosecutors, with a police misconduct probe on hold until prosecutors decide whether the three should be charged.
