Ex-Constable Charged with Child Abuse Images

0:00A former special police constable in Leicestershire just got hit with serious charges. Jamie Wallace, a 21-year-old from the area, faces three counts of making indecent images of children. Cops say these alleged crimes span from December 2018 all the way to October 2023. This isn't the first time lately. He's the third officer from the forced charge with sexual offenses in the past seven months. That pattern has folks in the department on edge. Back in February, 26-year-old Matthew Hunt got nailed for sexual communication with a child and more. Then in September last year, serving officer Christopher Ford, 35, was charged with attempted rape, six counts of sexual assault, and two, other sex crimes. Wallace is out on police bail right now, waiting for his court date. He'll show up at Leicester Magistrate's Court this Wednesday, April 8. These cases shine a harsh light on trust issues in policing and investigations keep rolling to dig deeper. Stay tuned as more comes out.
