West Midlands Police officer abducted and sexually assaulted 13-year-old girl

Another rotten to the core police officer, although thankfully he doesn’t seem to have been in the force long enough to get on the ‘diversity’ gravy train.  Not that there have not been far too many crimes from all demographics of currently serving officers. The rainbow diversity selection procedures and training doesn’t seem to be paying off in the kind of officers recruited these days.  From the Coventry Telegraph

A former West Midlands Police officer has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl he met online. Haider Siddique, 22, was found guilty of sexual activity with a child, inciting a child to commit a sexual act, child abduction and grooming.

In March last year, a bus driver spotted Siddique acting inappropriately towards the 13-year-old girl while he was on long-term sick leave. The witness reported the incident to police who later identified Siddique.

Siddique was taken into police custody where he resigned from his post. The 22-year-old joined the force in August 2021, but had been off sick since November that year and was never deployed to an operational role.

Siddique has now been remanded. He is due for sentencing in March. . . After the criminal court case has concluded, the force will convene a ‘former officer’ misconduct hearing.

Deputy Chief Constable Vanessa Jardine, from West Midlands Police, said: “This was a sickening criminal act by a former student officer, who appeared to be offering support to this vulnerable young girl but was in fact grooming her sexually. . . “
