Incidents showed Luke Horner was 'not suitable' to be an officer, including a potential sexual assault allegation and threatening a colleague, a report found.
A police force was told a serving officer had "repeatedly" asked a 15-year-old girl to send naked pictures of herself before he went on to commit a child sex offence, a critical inspection has found.
However, the report concluded that TVP could not have reasonably anticipated Horner would commit the sex offences against a child. HMICFRS was commissioned by the police and crime commissioner for Thames Valley to consider if there had been any lost opportunities in how the force dealt with intelligence and information relating to Horner during his service.
And during his police service, the force failed to identify that there were questions about his honesty and integrity after several incidents – and when considered together, these incidents “clearly indicated that Horner was not suited to being a police officer”. His Majesty’s Inspector of Constabulary Roy Wilsher said: “Having robust vetting processes is vital for forces in being able to identify any misconduct, dismiss officers and staff if they are not fit for the job and prevent unsuitable officers joining in the first place.
"I am pleased that Luke Horner is now serving a prison sentence following a successful investigation by Northamptonshire Police.
