Former Sussex Police officer admits having indecent images of children
George Voisey had even distributed a category A video of a child via Snapchat
A former Sussex Police officer has pleaded guilty to three offences involving indecent images of a child.
George Voisey, 24, appeared at Crown Court yesterday and admitted one count of distributing an indecent image of a child and two counts of making indecent images of a child between 22 June and 24 October 2024.
The matter was referred to the Independent Office of Police Conduct who directed that a local investigation by the force’s Professional Standards Department should be conducted. Voisey was arrested and suspended from duty.
The court heard that the investigation found that Voisey had made 12 indecent images; five of those being category B images and seven being category C images, which were located on his mobile phone. It was also heard that he had distributed a category A video of a child via Snapchat. He was not on duty at the time of the offences.
He was later charged with the offences and resigned from the force on 1 March this year.
Voisey was released on court bail to appear at crown court on 27 June for sentencing.
We're told the force will consider misconduct proceedings once the criminal proceedings have concluded.
