Officer convicted of raping a girl aged under 13 faces long jail sentence
James Ford, 31, of Hertfordshire Police, was found guilty of 10 counts of sexual abuse against the same girl at Cambridge Crown Court on Wednesday.
Jurors, who took less than a day to decide on their verdicts, also found him guilty of carrying out an act intended to pervert the course of public justice, by "deliberately [wiping] his phone by factory resetting his Samsung Mobile phone".
The head of the Child Abuse Investigation and Safeguarding Unit at Cambridgeshire Police, Detective Inspector Susie Hine, said: "Through the victim's powerful testimony, the jury were left in no doubt and now a predatory sex offender is behind bars. "In this case it was a serving police officer who now faces the custodial consequences of his appalling actions."
