Policeman used cadet scheme as ‘grooming playground’ to carry out sick attacks on youths

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 36-year-old father-of-one was accused of sexually assaulting the trio and of fifteen counts of misconduct in public office involving sexualised conversations. He was found guilty on all counts for incidents between 2015 and 2019, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Ali, of Old Trafford, Manchester, was found guilty of sexualised conversations with six other teenage boys and asking for and sending indecent images to some of them, a court heard.
