Think the article says it all.

However, the other 14 who received the same material should be charged as well.

She got 200 hrs community service for receiving and not watching it, her sister got 100 hours for sending it? The other 14 people who got sent it got...nothing. Doesn't seem fair unless the aim is to make an example.

She is the author of her own demise.

She's a professional police officer and knows exactly what she should have done but didn't do it.

I was once in a conversation with a close relative who revealed that a few days earlier he'd been interviewed by a nearby serious crime squad about his possible involvement in a drugs supply scenario.

Knowing the implications of a close relative being subject to scrutiny in such a case on my job, I contacted my Ch Inspector and laid out the facts to him.

He asked me to send him a quick email with the details and he'd do the necessary.

About 3 weeks later, I was told that there'd been a check with our anti corruption unit by the said crime squad about me. They forwarded a copy of the email to them showing I declared it to the force and that was the end of it.

That's all she had to do.

Bearing in mind the sister had committed a criminal offence, Williams knew she had a duty to act and didn't, hence the sentence she received.

There are two tests for a prosecution. The evidential and the public interest tests.

I dare say the first was met for everyone. The latter apparently wasn't. Being a police officer always raises the public interest aspect so there are many potential circumstances where you'll be prosecuted because you're a police officer where a MOP wouldn't.

Top work by her moron sister and her partner.

The superintendent's choice was to either rod her sister and her partner, or not. She chose not to and these are the consequences.

Why's that? If you had been sent the indecent image do you think you should be prosecuted for it? You have very little control over what content is sent to you.

The Police Officer will be held to a higher standard than the general public due to her position of responsibility.

It reads like it was sent to everyone on a group, so not specifically meant for the sister.

I would imagine normal people would be contacting the police if they received such disturbing footage.

Not reporting it should result in prosecution.

Even so, knowing your sister is on the group meansshe knew that her sister was going to be a recipient

Presumably someone from the group did report it and hence it was brought to light? Or was that covered in the article and I've missed it?

She obviously missed the news about the guy who was caught with a video of a woman and an animal which was received via a WhatsApp group and suffered the same fate.

What I don't get is how she was supposed to know what was on the video if she never watched it?

100 hours of community service for distributing an indecent image of a child?? What on earth?

I'm assuming given its got this far it wasn't something silly like "Here's your toddler niece splashing about on the beach with no top on, thought you'd like to see us all having a lovely holiday"
