Christopher Little sentenced previously for a series of sexual offences involving underage girls while on duty at police headquarters in Belfast

Christopher Little, 40, formerly of Cove Avenue in Groomsport, Co Down , appeared in the dock at Belfast Crown Court where he was due to stand trial on a total of four charges he previously denied.

The charge stated that “between June 11, 2018 the June 30, 2018, wilfully neglected to perform your duty and wilfully misconducted yourself to such a degree as to amount to an abuse of the trust of the public in that you as a Police Constable noted the contact details of a 17 year old female and subsequently used those details to initiate and maintain contact with that person”.

Little was jailed for a year in March 2023 for a series of sexual offences involving underage girls while on duty at police headquarters in Belfast. Belfast Crown Court heard the offences came to light in the summer of 2021 when the PSNI was contacted by the North West of England Regional Organised Crime Unit.

“He tells her he really likes her. He asks her for a picture saying he would send her one,” said a prosecution lawyer. “This suggests this shows the deep seated sexual interest he has in young girls,” said the prosecutor.
