A police sergeant has resigned in disgrace after an investigation found he had shared vile pornographic videos as well as discriminatory jokes on WhatsApp.
Married Glyn Martin, who had been a respected officer with Greater Manchester Police for 14 years, left the force in shame weeks before a disciplinary hearing found him guilty of gross misconduct. The Rochdale -based officer - who has received counselling for a self-confessed addiction to online porn - shared a series of vile clips, some showing sexual violence and bestiality and two offensive pictures featuring disabled people.
He also received - but did not forward - anti-Semitic and Islamophobic content as well as an image glorifying a white supremacist. Martin also confessed to 'sexting' and being engaged in 'multiple concurrent chats' online. "I am deeply ashamed of my actions," he said.
