A former Leicestershire Special Police Constable has been sentenced to a two-year community order after pleading guilty to three counts of making indecent images of children.
Jamie Wallace, 21, of Leicestershire, was sentenced yesterday (Wednesday) at Leicester Crown Court after he previously admitted the charges at Leicester Magistrates Court on Wednesday April 8.
Wallace was also ordered to sign the sex offenders register for five years and made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for five years. He was also ordered to do 70 hours of unpaid work, pay £150 costs and a £114 victim surcharge.
Following information received by the force, Wallace was arrested in October 2023. He was a serving Special Police Constable at the time of his arrest.
Two mobile phones were seized at the time of his arrest where it was found Wallace had downloaded indecent images. Analysis of these devices found 122 Category A images, 217 Category B images and 112 Category C images. The images are categorised based on the seriousness of them with Category A being the most serious.
It was found Wallace’s offending was committed between December 2018 and October 2023.
Chief Constable David Sandall said:
“This offending is horrific. It is the work of our force’s online abuse team which ensured Wallace was arrested, that a full investigation was carried out and that he was left with no other option but to plead guilty in court. I am grateful to the team for the action they took and for their hard work to establish the full circumstances of this offending and which led to this conviction.
“We will never tolerate this offending in our force. Wallace was suspended from the force following his arrest and later resigned. A gross misconduct hearing in July 2024 found that he would have been dismissed without notice had he still been serving.”
*At the time of the gross misconduct hearing, anonymity was granted to the former officer due to the ongoing police investigation. As the investigation has now concluded, this anonymity has been lifted.
