FORMER SPECIAL CONSTABLE CONVICTED OF GROSS MISCONDUCT OVER INDECENT IMAGES
A former special constable from Oakham, who was found with indecent images of children, chose to resign from Northamptonshire Police prior to facing disciplinary proceedings, it has been revealed.
Courtney Ravenscroft, aged 24, who worked across the county, was scheduled to undergo a swift gross misconduct hearing just before Christmas.
This came after he was convicted at Northampton Magistrates' Court last year.
He stepped down before the disciplinary hearing on December 17, which was overseen by Chief Constable Nick Adderley.
In a statement issued this week, Northamptonshire Police confirmed that on August 3, 2020, Ravenscroft's conduct violated professional behaviour standards linked to his criminal convictions before Northampton Magistrates' Court.
His convictions involved making a Category B indecent image of a child on December 27, 2012, and October 31, 2014, as well as creating a Category C indecent image of a child during the same period.
Residing on Primrose Close in Oakham, Rutland, Ravenscroft was sentenced on September 25 after admitting guilt to the charges.
The magistrates imposed a community order requiring 100 hours of unpaid work, and he was also ordered to register as a sex offender for five years.
