Superintendent Robyn Williams, who is now with the Metropolitan Police, is one of three people to have been charged as part of the investigation.

She faces one count of possession of an indecent image of a child, namely a moving image file of Category A severity, and one count of corrupt/improper exercise of police powers and privileges by a constable in failing to report the distribution of that image.

Category A is the most serious level of child abuse images.
