Ex-Met Officer Jailed for Sex Abuse Against Child
PC Alex Law Named After Sex Abuse Conviction
Metropolitan Police officer PC Alex Law has been unmasked after previously being granted anonymity. The 43-year-old from Dartford pleaded guilty to two counts of indecent assault against a girl under 10.
The offences happened back in 1996. Law was just 15 when he attacked the young victim as she played in woods near Hexham, Northumberland.
Victim Comes Forward Decades Later
The victim finally spoke out in December 2022 after spotting a photo of Law wearing his Met Police uniform. Her bravery brought the horrific ordeal back into the spotlight, leading to Law’s conviction.
On April 22, Law was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for the assaults.
Fast-Tracked Police Dismissal
Just three days after his sentencing, Law was stripped of his police role at a misconduct hearing and fired from the force without notice on April 25, ending his law enforcement career.
Detective Chief Superintendent Andy Cox praised Northumbria Police for their thorough investigation. “The Met is determined to remove anyone unfit to wear the uniform,” Cox said.
Justice Served, Public Safety First
As Law begins serving his jail term, authorities vow to keep protecting the public and hold abusers accountable.
