Warwickshire Police officer guilty of sexual offences against teenage girl

SERVNG Warwickshire Police officer has been found guilty of sexual offences against teenage girls.

PC Paul Hanson, 33, a response officer based at Bedworth, committed the offences against three girls in the 2000s and early 2010s – before he became a police officer.

Following a trial at Warwick Crown Court he was found guilty of six counts of sexual activity with a child and two counts of causing a child to engage in sexual activity. He has been remanded in custody and will be sentenced on January 23.

The court heard he committed the offences after befriending the girls in Nuneaton.

Lead investigator, Det Con James Pomeroy from Warwickshire Police said: “I would like to praise the bravery of the victims whose support has ensured Hanson will face justice for his crimes. We have ensured they got and will continue to get all the support they need.”

Det Supt Paul Thompson, head of Warwickshire Police Professional Standards Department, said: “Despite these offences being committed before he became an officer, the actions of Hanson bring shame on the profession. He exploited these young, vulnerable girls for his own sexual gratification and will now face the consequences of his actions.

“I hope this verdict provides reassurance that we will always investigate reports of such offending, whenever it occurred, and seek to bring offenders to justice.”

Yes. there will be . corruption in high places.
I can't understand how men in a good profession ruins their career for debase , filthy acts. It has been know that female teachers have had sexual relationships with underage boys. They quite clearly need psychiatric treatment.

I don't know about in the past with the Catholic church which seems always to get it in the neck with scandal, but more recent times , any deviant priest is defrocked and slung out on their rear end. It makes me think that some seminarians join the priesthood for the sole reason of having access to kids. But a few bad apples is not the fault of the Catholic Church on the whole.
They do now have a Diocesan safeguarding team, and officers in every church now .

I Can't speak for the CofE, as I am not involved with them. I expect they also now have a child protection team.



Child abuse happens also within families, as I myself was a victim of that. It is a damn scourge in society as a whole.
