LEIGH MORRIS FROM MILTON KEYNES JAILED FOR CHILD ABUSE IMAGES IN SHOCKING POLICE SCANDAL

In a disturbing case that has sent shockwaves through the community, Leigh Morris, a former police officer from Milton Keynes, has been sentenced to a year in prison after admitting to possessing highly disturbing child abuse images. The conviction stems from a series of charges related to the possession and creation of indecent photographs involving minors, some of which are classified as the most severe Category A images.

Leigh Morris, aged 31, appeared before Luton Crown Court where he pleaded guilty to five counts of possessing child abuse photographs. The charges included three counts of making indecent photographs or pseudo-photographs of children, one count of possessing extreme pornographic images, and another of possessing prohibited images of children. The images in question were particularly heinous, with some depicting children as young as three years old, and one involving a baby, highlighting the severity and depravity of the material involved.

Prosecutor Douglas Page detailed to the court that the offensive material consisted of both photographs and still images, which were found on Morris’s personal devices. The investigation was initiated after Morris’s arrest on July 7 of the previous year, during which authorities seized his computer and mobile phone from his residence in Milton Keynes. The evidence uncovered during the inspection was damning and formed the basis of the charges against him.

Following his guilty plea, Morris was sentenced to serve one year in prison. Additionally, he has been registered as a sex offender for a period of ten years, a measure designed to monitor and restrict his activities post-release. He is also subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which imposes strict conditions aimed at preventing any further offenses of a similar nature.

Leigh Morris’s professional life was also affected by his criminal conduct. He was employed as a Police Constable in Milton Keynes but was dismissed from his position on February 28 of this year. The dismissal was a direct consequence of the findings, which the authorities classified as gross misconduct, reflecting the gravity of his actions and the breach of trust inherent in his role as a police officer.
