Adnan Ali was accused of sexually assaulting the trio and of fifteen counts of misconduct in public office involving sexualised conversations.
A former police constable who used a cadet training scheme as a 'grooming playground' to sexually assault two teenage girls and a 17-year-old boy has been found guilty. Adnan Ali, who ran a cadet unit for the Greater Manchester Police force, denied twenty charges at Liverpool Crown Court.
The officer was police leader of Trafford cadets in 2013 with the unit growing to 130 recruits. Prosecuting counsel, Anne Whyte, KC, claimed that he 'threw out the rule book' by breaching boundaries with his communication and conducts with cadets. He was arrested in October 2018 after a complaint was received about him 'behaving inappropriately' towards a 16-year-old boy.
Assistant Chief Constable Colin McFarlane said: "Whilst Ali is responsible for committing these crimes, no one should be subjected to crime or misconduct during their contact with police officers and staff, like these young people were – for that, and in acknowledgement that Ali could have been better supervised and managed, we are sorry.
Head of GMP’s Professional Standards Branch, Chief Superintendent Mike Allen, said: "Today’s verdict will do nothing to ease the public’s concerns about police misconduct. However, Ali represents the very worst and the minority in policing - he is among a very small percentage who discredit the police service and undermine trust and confidence in it.
