Facing jail, the police predator who used a cadet scheme as his own personal 'grooming playground'
To the outside world, Adnan 'Adz' Ali was a respected police officer who had overcome his own demons to become a mentor to young wannabe cops.
A jury at Liverpool Crown Court took just under four hours to unanimously convict Ali of 15 offences of misconduct and five offences of sexual assault. The officer was happy to talk publicly about the attack but for his victims this will have been a part of a cynical attempt to build a reputation as a man of empathy who could be trusted.
The trial heard he sent hundreds of messages to one teenaged boy, who thought the PC was 'a bit of a creep' and responsible for 'constant weirdness'.The boy began following Ali on Twitter aged 15 at the officer's suggestion, and the quantity of messages became excessive - sometimes running into hundreds a day.
He said Ali would ring him late at night and mention having a bath. He sent the youngster photographs of his bath water and his bath and even texted: "I need someone to scrub my back xxxxxx." "As a consequence, the scheme is in a far better place now that it was in 2018. We do recognise that more could have been done to supervise him at the time," said the ACC.
