A Special Constable has been found guilty of possession of extreme pornography.

David Baddiel, 33, who served in Barnet, was sentenced to a 12 month conditional discharge yesterday, following a trial at Harrow Crown Court.

He was also made to pay £800 costs and a victim surcharge.

The jury found Baddiel guilty of possessing three indecent images on his phone. He was found not guilty of three identical images on his computer.

Baddiel had pleaded not guilty at Hendon Magistrates’ Court on March 5.

He remains suspended and will undergo a misconduct review.
