John Stringer, 42, was suspended by Gwent Police when the force first became aware of the allegations against him.
A police officer has been found guilty of sexually abusing a girl under the age of 13. John Stringer was on trial at Cardiff Crown Court where a jury returned its verdict on Monday. The 42-year-old from Cardiff had been suspended from duty by Gwent Police when the force first became aware of the allegations against him. They first came to light after the girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told a teaching assistant at her primary school.
'Horrific and sickening abuse' Assistant Chief Constable Vicki Townsend from Gwent Police said the offences were 'sickening'. 'These are some of the most heinous crimes that we as a police service are dedicated in investigating, his offending is a betrayal of his role as an officer,' she said.
