A retired Scots firearms cop has admitted being involved in a three-year plot to share child sexual abuse images with a serving Met Police boss, who died before being charged. Jack Addis appeared at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday where he pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute or show the revolting material with colleagues.
The 63-year-old is currently serving an 18-month sentence at HMP Dumfries for filming children in the shower and possessing child abuse images over a seven year period. Addis, formerly of Dumfries but now of Blairgowrie, has now admitted the latest charges alongside fellow retired cop Jeremy Laxton, 62.
The twisted duo had planned to share indecent images with Met chief inspector Richard Watkinson, who was found dead at his home in Buckinghamshire in January. He was discovered the day he was due to answer bail to be charged with the conspiracy, as well as three counts of making indecent photos of a child, voyeurism and two counts of misconduct in public office.
