Cop PC Adnan Ali Charged with Shocking Sex Abuse and Corruption
In a major police scandal, 34-year-old PC Adnan Ali from Trafford faces serious charges after a lengthy investigation into corruption and sexual misconduct.
Multiple Arrests and Serious Allegations
- October 2018: PC Ali first arrested on suspicion of corruption linked to sexual abuse.
- November 2018: Re-arrested for police corruption and sexual assault.
- March 2019: Arrested again over sexual assault, misconduct in public office, and distributing indecent images.
The Greater Manchester Police (GMP) handed the investigation to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which oversaw the inquiry. The Major Incident Team and GMP’s Professional Standards Branch carried out the probe under IOPC direction.
Charges Officially Laid
In July 2021, after the investigation wrapped and evidence was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), PC Ali was formally charged with:
- 15 counts of misconduct in public office
- Five counts of sexual assault
- Distribution of an indecent image of a child
He is set to appear before Liverpool Magistrates’ Court on 5 August 2021.
Support for Victims and Force Reforms
Victims and their families have received specialist help throughout the case. GMP launched a review of the Volunteer Police Cadet scheme in 2018, leading to sweeping improvements across the force.
Assistant Chief Constable Nicky Porter said: “I urge anyone with information to contact the investigation team at [email protected] or call 0161 856 7386.
